got a frame for powder coating , not sure what to go for ?
what frame is it?
I'm always a fan of powder blue, but it depends on the design of the frame
red - its the fastest!
its a inbred of course , fancy 1 in a different colour than the usual red white or blue.
i always liked "that green" they did on the older inbred.
kawasaki green
I have always been a sucker for Rocky Mountain red like this -

But if Eurobike is a view of the future then something quite in your face and garish is probably the way forward.
orange.
thought about a bronze sort of colour
santa cruz orange, kawasaki green, UPS brown
that pink Yeti on the classifieds yesterday was nice.
Porsche Sepia?

British racing green, with white forks, saddle etc. BRG needs the contrast or it just looks dull.
Someone on here had an Enduro sprayed candy turquoise, looked lush.
I've been thinking of having my scandal chemically cleaned and rolling it "raw"
Another vote for "raw"

gone for ups brown with gold lettering.
Same colour as your local mud, less cleaning more riding

I like the look of that, being a bit thick how can I chemically clean my scandal, do you have to have it dipped or can you do it at home?
sorry for the hijack
Teggs Horatio Stegosaur this is where ive taken my frame (moto coat haslingden 01706 830072 ) sure they do chemical stripping to.if this helps
'that green' looks nice on an inbred. Here's the Caz's inbred.

Needed white bars too.
Ta Lord, I'll look into that one
I mildly regret buying my santa cruz blur in white. But if you want your bike to have a permanent "just ridden" look then white is good.
If you can pick anything you want then pick something no-one else has got to make yours unique!
purple. No other colours come close 🙂
Powder blue, definitely

Frame still for sale - email me
Remeber it doesnt have to be a solid colour...
white with metalflake, true Essex styleeeee.
edit... mines an On One too, and with all the colours of the Ral chart to go for, I went for white... not many white On Ones! (but maybe only 1 white with metal flake Scandals)

BRG? Pahhhhh, Brooklands Green is a much nicer colour.
I would say pink first then camouflage or what about black with black lettering and black everything.
Rhubarb and custard!
For some reason I have got the idea that a purply pink (or pinky purple) with custard yellow lozenge shaped panels would look really good on a bike. 😉

Depends weather you've got an anodised scandal or a painted one!
i actually have a friend who would have my frame dipped, but assuming you have a big enough container, you could do it at home.
What you want is a matte black/gloss black rearward fade - NS do a jumpframe with this effect and it looks fantastic...
Just seen the powder-coating bit - guessing you can't get a gloss powder coat?
The Leyton House blue is a gorgeous colour.
bright yellow!!!

Candy Apple red looks great on my mates Monkey Bike,Done at the same plastic coaters as Traceys I think.
Liking blood at the moment;

Or maybe cream / stone.
I got this cove powder coated recently, I do like this shade of blue, just need to get some time to build it

im liking the different coloured enduros on this thread!!!! 😀
I'm quite keen on the 'custard' Cotics. Saw one at the bike show a year or so ago and that was wicked. Plan on getting my old Bontrager farme 'custified' soon
Good choice, I didn't regret going [url= http://www.flickr.com/photos/simonjohntaylor/sets/72157618828936686/ ]brown[/url]!

craig1975 was that off the Ral colour chart? my mate is having a frame done soon and that looks like the blue he is after...
How about Brant's sand?
[img]

sand is pretty good, although more like hearing aid beige/jewish racing gold. also like the burgundy on the brodie up there.
i have a sand 1 with the 853 tubing my most favorite bike ever such a great do anything bike.
Awwww that Salsa is bloody gorgeous.
Got to be stealth black, but green gives me a 30deg semi sometimes.
What is it with you people and sh1t brown?
" i'd like a Porche and can paint the same colour as an allegro please?"
Ye gods!
I had the wife bike done in pastel blue (RAL 5024)

Used to be a splatter effect 9's GT talera!
Though I like my matt white / black brompton I'm think of getting my Singular Swift changed to white..
Gotta be white 😉

Tinsy - sorry i don't have the RAL code, I got lucky as it was one of the colours the coater just happened to have in stock
OT where can I get a frame coated in or near Sheffield?
Ian
