They've been painted, all forks were silver. It might just be the owner wanted to continue the red/black theme rather than a crash.

Not a reason to stay away from it. It's fairly common to see this as the clear lacquer can be damaged. Same as with engine cases. You'll find polished, chromed, and painted samples.
