Is there a way to black out your forks?

Im just wondering if there is any way to black out the forks, I know i cant paint them but i want to make my bike anti-chrome, thx in advance.

You can paint them all black, except where the middle arrow on the right is. That area you can cover with fork boots.

Ah i didnt think about the boot thx for your help.

Depends on your budget.

You can powdercoat your fork legs or have them anodized black. For the chrome fork tubes you can get those DLC coated. DLC (Diamond Like Coating) is used on MX bikes and probobly some crotch rockets.

Here's some DLC forks with gold anno tubes.

That DLC looks really slick but im pretty sure its outta my price range. i think i'll just go with the powder coat on the lower and maybe some black spray paint on the top section and black boots covering the middle. Something like this.

wow,thats cool looking!

That sounds the cheapest way. Paint them with nice quaility car paint.
Black expoxy 2 part primer system is great and durable. Just would have to spray in the trip trees,so you would not scratch sliding in.
You just gave me a new idea! Thanks!
And use the old style rubber boots over the travel area.

Or if you want to spend some money, my chrome guy does industrial black anodizing coatings.
A couple of different kinds, check with any chrome shop that does industrial work.

before you go to painting everything up make sure to pull the triple trees off and clean all the gunk out of the bearings and races and repack them with grease

How would i go about painting the rims and spokes? I want to paint them red. The rims are chrome i believe.

Yeah, I've been needing another tractor...the black might get hot in the fields, though.
