Re-sprayed fork crown

This might sound silly but are you using a professional spray gun for this or just rattle cans?

Right I'm getting my frame sprayed soon, is it necessary for the original paint to be stripped back and if so how much? All the way to metal or just through the lacquer? The paint is in overall good condition just with some chips here and there and a bit of lacquer fade, any suggestions?

What colour did you use for the stanchions? I'm really impressed with how you almost matched the Kashima gold, and got the text on too. Mm well done.
