Alright, what you want to do is....
1. Take the fork out of the frame.
2. Buy a can of paint stripper (around $12) and attack the paint and stickers off.
3. Make sure that every little bit of paint is off and then wash the Paint stripper off with hot soapy water.
Now theres a few ways to paint it. Spray can, spray gun, acrylic, enamel, 2 pack. Or you could get them powder coated or chromed.
Personly i would be buying whatever colour you wanted in a Dulux pressure pack, its enamel and good quality. Dont buy cheap ****.
4. spray forks, preferable in warm weather and then leave in the sun to "bake on"
5. leave the paint to dry for a good 3 days before trying to touch/ put them back in.
6. put it all back together. go and show off..
