The paint color
The paint is called "Krylon COLORmaxx Gloss Blue Ocean Breeze". I used two cans and bought it at Lowes hardware.
The wheels and fork
The wheels and fork both came off of my old 1999 aluminum Pinarello. I don't know much anymore about the details of the parts, but the wheel are Mavic, however I don't know the specific model. I don't know what make or model the fork is, but it is a typical aluminum carbon design.
