got them sand-blasted to strip them - and took them to a local powdercoat shop - powdercoating is very durable

You trying to make that 951 look pretty slick eh?

Just make sure you dont paint any of the inside areas that mount to the stanchions or steerer.. that could definitely ruin it

Too much powder on that inside surface and they won't fit on properly.
