As above, does anyone know of a decent match on the later ‘smooth’ silver fork legs? Earlier bike’s ‘textured’ silver finish easier to refurbish with maybe Hammerite smooth silver in my experience ...... Any suggestions gratefully received! Thanks all.....

Hi Brodie:
Rather than repainting the front fork legs, I covered them with 3M Reflective Film. This protects the legs and provides high conspicuity at night. In the day, it looks exactly like normal painted fork legs. When the film becomes damaged (it lasts about 5 years), it is easy to remove and replace.
More info here:
Painting wheels and fork legs
Silver ST1300 with Matt Black forks?
ST1100 Front Fork Paint
Any tips to refurb the black bits?
Reflective tape ideas?
