Recently bought some new forks that I'd like painted. I would've just bought the right colour to start with, but with the discount I got on these I figured this route was worth it. Trouble is the forks have magnesium lowers, so from what I've heard/know, they require great care when stripping/preparing for paint.

Anyone recommend anywhere in the East Midlands that can cater for this? I've found some places that do spray work but all of them look like they are geared up for industrial work rather than smaller items.

Can't you try a good automotive body repair shop. They do smaller items, I had some door handles prepared and painted for about £20.

Maybe try a race car preparation outfit, they should be used to specialist piecework like that.

I had thought about an automotive body shop, but wasn't sure if they'd do such small parts, if they do then that'll probably be the best shout.

The race car prep outfit is a good idea if a normal body shop don't want to touch them; had a look on the web and found a couple that aren't too far away, thanks!
