chasthetrialsrider Posted June 5, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 5, 2006 I can photo shop it myself but I dont know what colour to have it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simpson Posted June 5, 2006 Report Share Posted June 5, 2006 just ride it??? everyones into colour schemes an all that jazz but just ride you bike and buy the bike in the colour you want because spraying looks wank and has a poor finish and chips and rubbs really badly and makes your bike worth less Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nafan Posted June 5, 2006 Report Share Posted June 5, 2006 (edited) Well if you are bothered about colours, somethng different/unique is always cool...I take it its a t-pro, from your profile, so maybe nice shiny chrome or could try a light shiny gold?Another piece of advise also, why not spend your money on some good parts then you can ride it better, rather than worrying 'bout the new paint job Nathan...

Gilman Posted June 5, 2006 Report Share Posted June 5, 2006 Hey man,I was thinking of doing the same thing. I have a black frame, i have also been tossing around some ideas of colors. I was partcial to white, but it seems like everyone is going that route. So now I have been looking into a pea green color, or a dirt brown. You should look into one of those colors.

chasthetrialsrider Posted June 5, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 5, 2006 (edited) just tried them on photoshop but they didn't really go any others Edited June 5, 2006 by chasthetrialsrider Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ogre Posted June 5, 2006 Report Share Posted June 5, 2006 (edited) Strip it and take off the paint but don't polish it just leave it in a dull silver type effect then just spray on some laquer (sp?) looks swish! (i'll post up some piks of my mates megamo, he did a similar thing)Ignore all the whiny little commments about cost, it takes a few hours and costs no more than a fiver if you go to the right places for the paint stripper and laquer!

KeNi Posted June 5, 2006 Report Share Posted June 5, 2006 Don't Base your bike on cosmetics as long as it rides how you like it doesn't really matter.. i would save the money you were planing to pay for the paint with and maybe put it towards some new parts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

basher Posted June 6, 2006 Report Share Posted June 6, 2006 save your money and buy new parts or a frame. but if your set on spraying it then what about brown, i no someone has done it with a stock and its a different colour. also orange is a colour that will make you stand out. but my advice is just save your money, i thought about having my bike done but just saved he money for my bike brakes because they always do.
