I have ODSY R32 forks and was wondering if it would work if I sanded them down and sprayed them black. Thanks!

Chrome is plated, so you would have to do a LOT of sanding.

I would put a sticker down (one that is cut out letters that are on their own) and then spray the fork, clear it up, and then peel the sticker off for a cool effect.

I think trading your chrome forks for black ones is a good idea. Lots o people want chrome rather than black me thinkss

I suggest you trade those forks for a black one, rather than sanding it down. Trust me, I tried and it's hard even if it is flaking.
