Putting this one out to the floor really but I'm considering offering a custom fork option, too. This would be available to any brand new fork that we or yourselves could supply.

We'd paint it in our signature colour and go nuts with some unique sign-writing, pin striping and just anything cool really.

Our paint service is offered to anywhere in the world as would this custom fork service.

Here's what we've got next, stunning 70s steel frame - this one is going in for some seriously beautiful lug-lining and pin-striping after paint...

We don't have any tips to advise other than take your time and be steady with the masking!

Love your work, the finish you achieve is amazing.
I've been building this on WW for a while, just painted it in a rather embarrassing makeshift paint booth, well not so much a paint booth more a half baked canopy :shock:

Lovely Rourkie repaint. Coming from the Potteries I do fancy a Rourke frame one day.

That Candy Red is properly good. Are you using one paint for that, or the old guitar method of a silver/gold base layer with a trans color over the top?

Thanks for all the kind words!

We use House Of Kolor paint for candy, we've found this to be more durable than painting a silver and spraying over the top.
