Chris King PHS434 fully seated, Etch primed fork for painting. The paint loss looks liked its came from brake cable rub on each side as they do, though you need to scrape/scratch back more to ensure a bond with the primmer and remove all unstable paint. The top of the red is not "flaking" just where am wet n' dry-ing it in. Another rub down and coat of primer required, third time now there.
Those touch up paints seen good given the proper code etc, its workable after 24 hours, I would wait longer though, unless you can fit the fork in your oven . The reason of fitting the bottom race first is that in reality those touch up paints for cars bikes etc will take up to 30 days to harden. (they are what they are - ready made touch up paint)
To be honest I could see this part far enough, if the frame/fork is what you think out off scope to touch up! Just get it Powder Coated and try to locate decals. (or live with it)
