Would like to sand or steel wool or SOMEHOW remove the paint off to the chrome finish, leaving the entire fork chrome. Has anyone done this? What's the technique you used?
That's easy enough. Use some stripper and 0000 steel wool, lightly and go at it. If you are using strong enough stripper, most of the paint should just lift off. Wipe it down with water and dry thoroughly. Polished chrome forks look great. Good luck.
