Headley Posted February 12, 2008 Report Share Posted February 12, 2008 I was out riding and one of my mates suggested I shud spray my frame a shiny black, what do you think cos I can't make my mind up. Also how much would it cost to get it done if I did? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Stig Posted February 12, 2008 Report Share Posted February 12, 2008 Black would look fit as f**k (satin black ***) It chould cost YOU No more than £20-£30 Tops if you DIY!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monty caz Posted February 12, 2008 Report Share Posted February 12, 2008 if i was you i would just got it polished then its bright and reflective not dull (or that might be your camera)or try get it photoshoped ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dec Posted February 12, 2008 Report Share Posted February 12, 2008 in my opionin i would say go for it. but do not get it just sprayed as it will chip easy etc so just get it powdercoated and it will last ages i dont think it will cost that much. and you will need to tell the exactly what type of black you want so you will have to show them as there are so many types of black it is unreal.dec Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex@Flawless Bikes Posted February 12, 2008 Report Share Posted February 12, 2008 A nice shiny black should look really good with thoughs rims, but if you DIY make sure to take your time and add lots of coats other wise it will look cr*p!

TrAsHeR Posted February 12, 2008 Report Share Posted February 12, 2008 I think black and pink makes it look a bit cheapy You should spray it white with the pink wheels it look really nice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
