Looks great, i want to do the same on my 06, what paint did you use, and are you afraid of the forks getting stone chips?

well first off i ripped everything aapart and cleaned it with denatured alcohol. then used a clean metal spray primer. and finished it up with 3 coats of krylon flat black paint. as for the chipping i havent taken it out much since i did it but even if it does chip here or there i can just paint over it or leave it to add some character
