I would like to paint the new fork I purchased so it will match the bike. Are there any cheap and do-it-yourself options that people have used with favorable results?
Thanks!

Color match is going to be the hard part.

Umm, I bake enamael spray paint @ 170 for 20 min in oven.
This is similar to the process used for cars.
A cheap 'Color All' worked best.
The paint 'melted' and 'glassed'. You have to find the right enamael.
I repeated this process 3 times for high impact items like my bashguard, now red.
Being a fork, not a frame, the oven will work, you suspend with wire for baking.
An idea,....>jef.
