Also managed to snag a Columbus Futura Calliper SL Fork on the forum, although painted in dark blue, this is a full carbon fork and supposedly quite light compared to the alloy steerer model that is on the bike now.
Stripped back to bare carbon... and lost about 35g just in paint! There were actually 2 paint-jobs in there...
Some slight chips/imperfections which I filled with epoxy
Then repainted in 2K clear coat matt
Once I cut the steerer I dropped another 24g, so in total lost 54g from repainting it...
