Hi, any advice would be great. My wife paid company to powder coat her bike frame, but after they had done it they said they couldn't do the forks as they were carbon. My wife wants them matching, the frame is now a blue/green colour. Would she be able to get a colour match and done a different way? What is her best option? I could post photos

The heat would spoil the fork.
Find a paint spraying company that has a spectrometer which can copy the colour of the powder coat and mix the paint and apply it for you.
There are plenty of bikes with a carbon fork which is left in natural carbon because of this. Quite usual and doesn't look at all odd.

Thanks for your response, unfortunately to you don't know my wife, she likes things to match.At the minute the powder coat company rubbed the forks down a little, how did I get them natural. Thanks
