Cheers guys. Fortunately for me, my bro has taken up welding again, so naturally I wanted to help him get his skills up to spec, hence the frame. :D

 

Thought you would of pulled them apart with ya bare hands Studs  :)

I defy anyone to do that with mk1 forks. :lol: 

Found quite a bit of crud on the big washers below the seals.  :huh: 

 

Now, what paint to use ?  I'm thinking of a light sanding then a primer/builder followed by paint and a clear lacquer.

I rebuilt a set in 2012 due to the imminent failure of my existing forks.

I think I used itching powder ...err no wait etching primer and then paint and then thin lacquer layer. Then I covered in helicopter tape to try and protect it......can't tell you if it worked as my imminent failing forks what ride over bubbles of rust are still not leaking and work fine!

Etching primer.  Might end up using that stuff actually.  Some chips on the forks are down to the metal so might well remove all the paint and start from scratch.

Another option would be to use Symoniz engine paint as it goes straight on to alloy but the colour choice is limited.  Finish with a clear coat.
