Nope, I do both often enough. I covered the lowers in clear 3M protective tape at the start of the season so it would keep them in great condition in case I decided to sell them, and repainted the scratches in the black graphics..proof of crashes if the scratch on the front of the fork in the picture lol.

 looks like you never crash, or never ride lol. mint forks

 so damn beefy
