• Wrong colours arrived yesterday for the forks. I decided what the heck and just sanded them down roughly and painted them the way I would anyway to get a feel of what I'm after. Here's the result. Thoughts? Red to Pink? The red was supposed to be pink and the orange is the wrong shade but you get the idea.

  • Looks great. Autumnally appropriate!
    Generally, I'm not a fan of the appearance of 12k carbon weave, but it works well on the inside of the fork leg because it's more noticeable. Nice job!
    I like the colour choice also. Although, thinking maybe non-fluoro fades are best-suited to matte black frames, whereas fluoro colours would look better on a stripped/polished frames... Forgive me if the paint is fluoroscent... In the past I've taken photos of things that are neon, but appear to be non-neon on the photo.

  • You've inspired me to try something similar on my gf's bike...
    Maybe sky blue-pink fade, metallic or with sparkle, and a white pinstripe between paint and carbon, to pick out the stock frame decals?
    Like copying one half of Rudy's DSC fork, but with some visible carbon.
