American Modder: Computer Bike
 

When I last worked on the forks, I had just put a fresh coat of primer over one of them. It looked pretty decent to me, so after it dried, I carefully sanded it down with 600 grit sandpaper to make it extra smooth. Then I painted a slight coat of chrome paint over it. I always hate working with silver paint--it takes longer to dry and gets fingerprints too easy. But chrome is the appropriate color for front forks, so I went ahead anyway. I let the paint dry for a couple of days and looked it over closely.
