Just dropped the frame in for powder coating this morning. bmike - I've gone for Ral 5015, or as its now officially known; Greggs Blue. Just need to get some custom, pie-based graphics sorted today, and the Greggs P7 will be a reality 😀
Thanks for all your contributions folks
Anyone recommend anywhere I can get some custom graphics cut?
Looking forward to seeing the results Binners. Get a head tube graphic with 4 square oranges made up as a homage to the inspiration.....
Try [url= http://dirty-customs.co.uk/ ]these[/url] guys. They've offered do sort me out in the past and seem friendly enough.
Cheers mate. I've just mailed them. I best get the artwork sorted. Hopefully I'll have it all back together to christen it at Brechfa next week
I'm having the frame done in matt powder coat, then they're going to shove the stickers on, then coat it in a gloss lacquer. Should look great! 😀

Not mine, stolen from another thread (user epicsteve)but very close and I cannot for love nor money find a photo of mine on the works computer haha!
WackoAK - Thats the cover of my biography 😀
I've done the artwork for the Greggs graphics, which are presently being cut. The frames still at the powder coaters. I'm hoping to have it all back and assembled next week for christening at next weekends away weekend to Brechfa. Will post pictures up when its done
No pics of mine (Genesis Altitude), but it's just red, with a clear lacquer
No decals or 'owt. It would have replacement decals if I'd not lost the vector files that someone did for me a year or so ago. I don't suppose that someone still has them...? There's a pasty in it...
You lost them? They'll be on the laptop at home. I shall dig them out and get them over to you later
Lovely 🙂
Cheese and onion or steak bake? I'll stick it in the post (in a jiffy bag, so it stays warm).

Customer insisted on grey. came out pretty well.
I'd say get sparkles.
I do a matt or glossy clear over the powdercoats.
wears better, and looks better

Well… its back. Just been to pick it up from it up from [url= http://www.eregcoatings.com ]Ereg Coatings[/url] who have done a bloody fantastic job of it! Acid dipped, then a matt Greggs Blue applied, covered with a high gloss lacquer. You'll have to excuse the crap camera phone pic, which doesn't do it justice

Binners, my old prawn and pickle sandwich, I like that. I like that a lot.
Bright blue? Why yes.

wrote a post on paintjobs for bikes and how to choose them.

hope it helps someone.
There's a lot of hard bits in building bikes, choosing a good paintjob is damn hard.

Got this reprinted in red but only to keep it as close to original as possible.

Red ones go faster. This is known.
My much missed powder coated love/hate.

emanuel - its RAL 5015. Or Greggs Blue, to give it its now official title. The frames in the LBS getting the BB faced, and headset fitted. The graphics were shipped yesterday apparently. The work stand and a big pile of new goodies are stacked in the dining room (much to Mrs Binners delight).
So it'll be built up this week. I'm planning a ride this weekend, to take in some great local trails, and finish at the nations premier purveyor of pies and pasties, for a suitable pastry-centric photo 😀
IHN - I had a look for your graphics last night. Inexplicably, they weren't in the folder marked 'Vector files that I take the time to draw up for my mates, that'll they'll then go and bloody lose'. So I'll check out my various external drives later. Its bound to be in there amongst the music and grot somewhere 😉

My BFe:
What RAL/where from? That is NICE.
Binners- love the Greggs idea 😀
I can't take any credit for it Hora. It was Flashy's flippant remark, that we then realised was actually pretty bloody inspired, and the Greggs colour scheme is actually a pretty nice colour combination. 😀
DJ cycles? I saw a blue frame in the window last night!
Binners
Nice paint job - but why any decals? Just a nice bold decal head tube badge (maybe some kind of roundel) and then leave the rest?
Sefton - that is indeed the little beauty.
why any decals?
Well I've had them custom made by Slik. I should have them next couple of days. They're white Orange Logo's on the down tube, P7 logo and this for the top tube

I'd love rootbeer brown (a la Santa Cruz circa 2004)- its not possible though is it?
Course it is. You can have whatever colour you want. Anyway…. you coming out to play on Monday? You don't reply to my texts any more. Who is he then, you slag?
**** biatch. Cant we do something decent?!! Unless you've got the girls/hence clayton?
binners
thanks!
