I was thinking of polishing them or painting them
What color should I use to get close to factory for restoration

Most were polished Aluminum with a clear Lacquer coating. If you're going to polish your forks, you'll need to remove the Lacquer with paint stripper, polish, & re-spray the forks.

They were polished and coated with clear, but they were not highly polished to a mirror finish. More of a finely brushed aluminum finish that you might get if you polished them and then wiped them with 000 steel wool around (not up and down) the legs. Ed
