Hey everyone,
I'm in the market for a carbon fiber fork for my road bike but I want to
get the fork custom painted. I have found a few different painting
outfits that say they have experience with painting carbon but in every
case it sounds like (which would make sense I suppose) that one of the
phases actually involves sanding the fork. I don't know if this
immediately rings alarms with anyone else besides me?
So I'm in the process right now of trying to find a reputable fork
manufacturer that would be willing to sell me a fork that hasn't gone
through the final clear-coating phase, etc. and is in a ready-to-paint
state, thus avoiding the need to have it sanded. Anyone have ideas as
to manufacturers, paint shops, or how I should go about doing this? Thanks,
