i have a judy XLC fork and there are places on it that the paint has been chipped (rocks hitting it ect..) i was wondering if i should put some piant on it to prevent corrosion...????? and i want to make my fork pretty again. If i can put paint on it what kind should i use. Any help will help me. THNX

Hmmm. I just live with the chips and scratches. Battle scars. :)

your lowers are made of magnesium, i believe. i don't think that will rust. get used to the paint chips. there will be more. think of them as beauty marks :)

and i'm sure any sort of enamel paint would be fine.

hmm, its magnesium that stuff corrodes a tad worse than steel.

just put any paint that matches on.

Won't rust.

Nail polish.

That is all.
