I have a bike I'm prepping to sell, and the fork is in great shape (except for the rattle can paint job). The fork was white, is now powder blue, or was until I began stripping the paint.

Has anyone powder coated fork lowers before? I will remove the dust wiper and seals first, but I wonder if the heat will damage the bushings.

Advice?

Never mind. I found out what powder coating will do the the lowers. Looks like automotive paint is the best option.
