Default Painted me forks........
At a bit of a loose end today so thought I'd paint my fork legs black, I never really liked them in the bright alloy seeing as the rest of the bike is black. I'm hoping it'll look quite cool when the wheel goes back on.......I'm changing the wheels for alloys as soon as I can find some I like.

Looking good, I took some sandpaper to my lower fork sliders, gives it the brushed look.

I've always liked painted/powdered sliders. Looks sharp.

Looks great. I like the contrast between them and the rest of the front end parts.

Looks good. I would suggest doing the same thing to the brace just above it.
