[Closed] Behold! My new Chameleon paint job :oD

tic tac colour scheme rocks wish my chamy was a bright colour

You will have to get some Spank green rims to go with it as well.

I have a pair of the SPank Green Rims, and they look ace. Massive section-ed though (40mm). After all the vitriole spat on here, not sure i'd go for matching rims and frame again though.

The green and orange......solamanda is right it does work..

Not with the blue decals . . . sorry. Colours are great though - just needs some black/white/green decals.

See what you mean, too 'busy'. Could lift the blue parts off with a sharp craft knife.

Seems a shame to remove the decals but presumeably the raised Bomber ones are separate so you could leave those on. How about a set of lime green or black M's from ebay. I bought an orange 'Bomber' set for my Tazer but only used the M part (thought maybe the whole thing would've been a bit overkill). You've gotta use those Bombers - orange stuff rocks!!

It's alright for mama - she's a girly and everything, but

🙄

didn't they have any black ?

Looks pooh. But then again can you ride it or does it have the front shifter zip tied to the down tube coz you is mong?

There are no zip ties on that down tube at all, never mind a zip tie strapping a front mech to the down tube.

I propose that you DrRS**** are in fact the mong in question.

mamadirt, yep. Had a good check round last night. Luckily the main decals are prominent enough to pull it off. 🙂

Anyone notice that I built up the bike from filthy parts and a spotless/clean frame? 🙄

That is a good point hora why didnt you clean and service everything before re-assembly?

I'm not into religiously cleaning mountain bike's. Its a never ending job otherwise, I just flick off the dried dirt with a soft brush. I bet mamadirt has her time taken up all those bikes though 😉

My commuter hasnt been cleaned in two years either - I just re-oil the chain and hey presto! I'm bad arent I? 🙄

Stick the bombers on as they are, they're meant to clash!

*waits for solamander

It work on that frame fork combo in the late 90's so no reason it won't now.

is that why you buy a new one every time your bike gets dirty?
so how many santa-cruz's have you had now? 2 hecklers? 3 chameleons? 1blur 4x?

1 Heckler, 4 Chameleons (3 were medium) and 1 Blur4x. I do miss my Blur4x, the biggest talent compensator of them all- I'm keeping alookout for one those.

Oww.. leave him alone; he's an afflicted addict.

Put those Orange forks on NOW!

That will go really well. Agree wit mama over the blue decals however it is a small detail.

Nice bike.

were you selling the pikes?

You've STOLEN my paint job. I [i]think[/i], actually sod it, I AM CRYING.

noooooooo!!!!!!

I like it.

Oh yes, definitely good

do you wanna sell those forks?

Love it!

The yellow on the tyres and toolbox sets it off nicely; don't think the toolbox would look good on the trail though.

tic tac! that is pretty mad!

quick question. How did you do the paint job? was it pretty easy?

Thinking about doing my GT ht as its just boring silver. Doesn't have to be perfect but don't want it chipping off and looking a mess. + is it easy to get the old paint off without mucking up the frame?

Nice! That really works.

For reference, this is what he's copied...

Nice! Your next one has to be orange and green (instead of green and orange).

solamanda, if its any consolation your bike is much nicer, I don't know what else to say? he's got the colour tones wrong?

giddyrob, google powdercoaters in your local area. There should be a few and they could strip the frame of old paint for you. The dark spare room/flash photography doesn't do the paint work justice...

Sell the Pikes? No, they are going on my Summer season.

I was about to say it looks good but after those pics I think I'll leave the 2 of you alone...

I knew I'd seen that colour scheme somewhere before. Hora, to borrow a phrase from '80s hip hop, get off the tip. 😛

Having said that, tic tac bikes rule!
