rathergoodpie Posted March 16, 2010 Report Share Posted March 16, 2010 Ok, so I'm now on my 5th red white and black bike, and to be honest getting a bit bored of them! I have red bits on the bike so I'm thinking of something that will complement them, Im thinking a mix between the yeti blue and a sort of peppermint green. Not sure though. Did a very quick photoshop job to try and get an Idea. I'd quite like to keep the forks / wheels black by the way. what do you think?

Dan6061 Posted March 16, 2010 Report Share Posted March 16, 2010 I quite like it, need some graphics too though I reckon, just to link the three colours together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, some real grungy skulls or ladies would look great on there! where do you take it to be sprayed? or is it just a hand done thing with some cans from halfords?

jambo Posted March 16, 2010 Report Share Posted March 16, 2010 I like the look of both but you need to get the angle of that white stripe better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monkeyseemonkeydo Posted March 17, 2010 Report Share Posted March 17, 2010 I like the look of both but you need to get the angle of that white stripe better. Agreed. Mint greeny one but with a better stripe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rathergoodpie Posted March 17, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2010 Agreed. Mint greeny one but with a better stripe. Yeah I'm leaning towards the green one, not seen many bikes in this colour. I'm gonna spray myself, I did a job on a Czar i got off Bigman a couple of years ago and that turned out quite well. Agree it needs some stickers to tie it all together though. Prob try and get some custom ones made. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ross McArthur Posted March 18, 2010 Report Share Posted March 18, 2010 The Boon has done that Greeny colour on his Curtis. Well, its similar. I'd go without the black and white stripes and just have it solid with some decent black stickers. I really don’t know what people have got with skulls though. Tattoos, posters, on bike paint jobs......Where’s the appeal? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or perhaps a red frame........? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Liking the sound of cream actually, bit like the original original pashleys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew62 Posted March 18, 2010 Report Share Posted March 18, 2010 And you could do the bars to match. I saw some guy once who had a white inspired and just flecked it with paint like a jackson pollock painting. Did the bars aswell and it looked amazing. Quite a deep cream i guess you're thinking of?

JD™ Posted March 18, 2010 Report Share Posted March 18, 2010 I'd say try one of the original ideas you did, but with the black and white swapped over so it was [colour -> black -> white] because I reckon it'd make for a pretty funky monotone front end swapping black/white across bars, stem, headtube and forks...

rathergoodpie Posted March 19, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 19, 2010 (edited) Ok, so plan is to maybe spray this weekend. Gonna go with the peppermint green. Edited March 19, 2010 by rathergoodpie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks a bit like this now\/ I guess you don't need any inspiration if you've already settled on a design, but I thought some of you may be interested in seeing the finished product.
