If you wanna paint the fork, don’t go down the ‘painted in similar colour to raw Ti’ option..... it will look weird after a few months. The tone/shade of the raw Ti finish on the frame will darken with use.... I had customer a while back who wanted the ‘titanium silver’ fork off his 6 month old Moots repainted bright Pink because of this exact problem.
Either leave fork unpainted, or choose a nice contrast colour. Personally I think raw Ti frames look great with fork and stem painted in a bold contrasting colour.
