Greg Field Posted November 13, 2006 Share Posted November 13, 2006 I've already got rock dings on my Ohlins forks. Has anyone found a paint that's a reasonable match? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrt Posted November 14, 2006 Share Posted November 14, 2006 If you send me your forks, I'll look into it and test many varieties of paint for both color and abrasion resistance. I might not get them back to you very quickly, as I'm a slow worker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gh67 Posted November 14, 2006 Share Posted November 14, 2006 I've already got rock dings on my Ohlins forks. Has anyone found a paint that's a reasonable match? Greg, in the past I've used some testers model paint (sorry, don't have the number) with a fine brush and it was close enough for small chips. Though I think next time I will try out (using the ole spray into the cap technique) one of Duplicolor's Metalcasts anodized colors.....they have an orange and a yellow. http://www.duplicolor.com/products/metalcast.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Gary Cheek Posted November 14, 2006 Share Posted November 14, 2006 Greg, Look for a semi transparent in order to duplicate the metallic sheen. You might find a clear urethane with some golden pigment works. Test is on a scrap of machined aluminum. (Gotta be a lot of that around! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
