LOL....Day-glo orange would make for a nice bump in forward visibility!
I knew it was a black but didn't know if it was a flat black, matt black or a simi-gloss black. Come on, your not helping me here.So would handlebar Tassles but......... Black works.
Cool, did you use a matt black?I have used black epoxy appliance spray paint from Rustoleum that has held up good on my motorcycle. Just follow the directions.

Several ways to prep...Citristrip, sandpaper, bead blasting, sand blasting if you are really careful....don't want to pit the aluminum.
I paint fork lowers with wheel paint for aluminum wheels....primer, color, clear.
The fork lowers on my 1991 are painted, not anodized.I am going to make an assumption here (because I don't know and have never tested them) that the aluminum was anodized at the factory. If so I would not suggest abrasive means such as sand paper, sand blasting, etc., as this will strip the anodize as well. Less aggressive means such as chemical strip, plastic bead blast, walnut shells, etc. intended for stripping aluminum would be a safer choice just in case- unless someone already knows that they aren't anodized.
