Starting in on polishing my lower fork legs. Just stripped the gray stuff off with Zip-Strip paint remover that I picked up at Ace Hardware. Once that set for 15-20 minutes, I scrubbed everything off with coarse steel wool. That's the easy part.
Started sanding with 120 grit and the castings are so coarse and pitted on the inside of the legs that sandpaper alone aren't going to get them smooth.
