I like the paint. I would not want to see a whole bunch of bikes painted that way, but having that one in the world is cool. As for the fork - go with the chrome replacement. Chrome goes with pretty much everything and it will more or less disappear next to that paint job. It's is the next best thing to repairing that fork or trying to paint one to match (and good luck with that).
