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.
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.
That would be ace, especially the white pinstripe, but that will be difficult too. You'll need the colour to start where the white ends, if it overlaps or doesn't touch it looks bad.
