Respray carbon forks
Hi everyone. So I dropped a bit of a clanger recently. A while back, I thought it would be a good idea to stick some electrical tape on the front carbon forks on my Enigma Ecroix to 'protect' them from scratches when I put some of those raceblade mudguard things. Big mistake - I went to remove the tape today as I now have fitted mudguards and to my horror the paint just peeled off! So I'm just wondering what paints are best to use to give it a re spray? I have quite a bit of experience of building/painting windsurf & kitesurf boards but I always used a gloss roller with a 2 pack paint, but I would rather just get a can of something for ease . Any advice appreciated!

Agreed on all counts. And it's the tacit assumption that as it's only a cycle lane it doesn't really matter anyway.

I used to go that way to work. It's nasty and congested. I doubt any changes will make the congestion worse.
