shock linkage what’s people’s opinion on it example of the finish is below wrote on 12 Aug 2019, 15:59 last edited by@mhbikesnbits Satin chrome paint would look good. Is that from a rattle can? I resprayed mine in a gloss black paint and although they look good, once fitted TBH they do chip easily. Mostly due to their location on the bike, being vulnerable to stones and salt, plus ease of rear suspension reassembly. Paint is fine but I would suggest that a powered coat might be more durable???

Powdercoating is great for resilience.
But the finish isn't always the best. For things on show, can't bet 2 pack paint. Fot things that need protecting, powdercoat.
