You can also go with black chrome, but it would be a lot more expensive than powder. Powder is very durable, the only thing I would wonder about on the forks is the possibility of it getting worn off the lower tubes over time. Anyway, powder coating would be my first choice. You could also use it to black out the rest of the bike. Just dont powder coat your jugs. Powder has some insulating properties and holds in heat. Better to go with hi-temp paint on the jugs and heads. Your best option would be powder coating. You can also go with black chrome, but it would be a lot more expensive than powder.

If you want to do your own, you can powdercoat anything that doesn't get hot, and use engine enamel on parts that do get hot edit: must learn to read, lol, i thought i read what's the purpose, you said process... duh Purpose? a different look i suppose.
