Thinking about investing in a On-one Carbon 456 however I cant make my mind up as to whether I like the finish or not.

Does it look better in person?

Has anyone had one custom painted?

Any help appreciated, Thanks.

Whilst the shape of the frame and the tubes look better in the flesh, the finish is somewhat dull and utilitarian. It looks like an absolute tank, the size of that down tube!

However, back to your question, the unpainted version marks quite easily but nothing a good wodge of helitape on the down tube and at cable rub points wouldn't stop.

The finish on the painted ones looks good but seems to chip quite easily.
