Crash bars, so I can crash

I’ve been touring the salvage yards looking for the original forks for my bike. No luck yet, but I did find some crash bars that I wanted. As you can see the chrome was a bit rusted, I cleaned that up and made them shine, but before I put them on the bike I’m going to paint them black.

Clean enough to go ahead and polish it now, however I want it black so I went on a search for some 600 and 1000 grit wetsandable paper. Hopefully I’ll get to paint it next wknd.
