Definitely! No idea why Fox would make forks in such an ugly colour!

ant1901

any ideas on cost of having hem spray defo not somethin i would attempt

ry1978

I really like the grey fork colour that fox use. Why not change the pedal and grip colour to match, much easier than respraying the fork sliders?

true may have a browse at superstar

Powder coating would be the best option and less likely to chip. Id expect to pay about £20 ish for the fork lowers and crown, including media blasting.

Give these guys a call theyre the best about. Just done my frame for me, gonna pick it up tomorrow

thanks that doesnt sound bad as expecting quite abit more

steelie600

just to give you an idea. My frame and swing arm, media blasted and powder coated in white cost me £50 and theyre a lot bigger than forks!!
