Good job. What you do to prep them for paint. Need to do mine, and a bit nervous given that the lowers on my Talas are Magnesium Ally and have heard horror stories about painting them?

i tried Enduro seals on my Vans for a bit, didn't like the stiction.
I've gone back to Fox seals for buttery smooth action.

tops5 -Believe it or not Poundland white primer 75p a tin as the top was damaged HA HA
Then clear coated to last a little longer

Xan-Easy paint strip with Proper NITROmorse Green tin putloads on leave then brush off with soft brass wire brush then light sand with 800 wet tho degrease Then few coats of primer then paint Enamel paints CR@P use standed I would say for the money Hi cotes better

Skyline-GTR -Got some stantion lube free with the seals works a treat mate.

scaredypants-LOL...Hes a tad older,softer,deafer blinder...He chased one of my cats into the spare bedroom where i cunningly hung up the forks near the radiator to dry thus he knocked them ..swung into the radiator ..NOT AMUSED..BUT still love hes 16 soon..
