- Colors that are almost the same but not quite, IMO, are worse than two different colors.
- I've rattle canned clear over powder coat with just 400ish grit sanding with no problems in adhesion or durability that I've noticed.
My suggestion is to strip the fork fully and paint it as you do the frame. If all the same paint there's no small tint difference, you've fully controlled the situation and not assumed on the PC agreeability with primer/paint. Does the wife have any specific color preferences? Andy
