That's really cheap.

How much is it to Ti Nitride the sliders?

Reckon I need to get them done now rather than after it's finished.

The TiNi is expensive, if you really wanted it done I would buy a new set of stanchions from wemoto and then speak to Kais or All Bike Engineering about getting the coating done. Theres no way I would spend TiNi money on pitted fork legs

Your right. I'll look to getting that done maybe over the winter then next year. It's been off the road for 5 years now so it needs to be ridden. I NEED to ride it lol

Could they do forks another colour?

Yeah that's right, I do put quite a few bits through them, may be getting a discount and not realising it.
All the parts I give them are 100% clean though which is half the battle.

Yeah I suppose so, you would have to speak to them, I'm not sure about the process and going over old anodising.

Freshly machined ally can go any colour you like

They'll be able to strip off the old ano and reapply a different colour.
