Guys,

I want to restore my Hutch trickstar forks, they are chrome and a bit scratched, Ive got a painted black frame.  so I want to strip the chrome forks and just paint black.

Im gonna try miself,  any advice on the easiest and cheapest way,   products etc.

thanks alot

harris:
best advice if you want the chrome removed first,go to a chrome platers
they will drop it in a tank of soda and run an electric current over it releasing the chrome plate.

if the chromes not to bad then you can just key it up then paint.

Thanks Harris  :daumenhoch:

Probably a stupid question, but keying, you mean filling/undercoat?

cheers

paul
