Hi
I got my hands on a Koga Miyata Fatmax II for my Miyata, which I think is a APA-bonded alu fork. Unfortunately it was the wrong color. Searched for a long time in my area to find someone who could wet-paint the fork - as most only could do powder coat. But when i got it back they had powder coated it, despite my clear instructions. Now I am afraid that the bonding has suffered damage from the heat of the powder coat process - Should I be worried? It seems as it was before - but I haven't tested riding it.
Attached is a picture of the fork before painting.
Thanks
