I have an Orange Patriot 66 that i've owned for a few years now. I've been slowly upgrading the parts to the best of my budget.
Now the time has come for a respray of the frame as it's looking dull and scuffed/scratched.
As most of the parts on the bike are black and gold, i'm looking at going for a frame respray in black.
So now the choice of black becomes an issue.... do i go for Pearl Black, Disco Black, Cherry Black or Jet Black?
Any advice would be greatly apreciated! 🙂
Pick,
Get a pink one!
For that real bling look

I was wondering if it was gonna be you or jimmy that would be the first to reply!!
Got too much pink in my wardrobe as it is, so i couldn't do that to the bike!!
You sending it to orange to get it re done? How much do they charge?
Downs you only just had ur bike n thinking of changing colour already? Think it's about £200 ish by the way
No no no... Just wondering how much... If I decide to do it a few yrs down the line lol loving the neon green 😉

Don't mock the pink 😉
I was thinking of getting the pink for my five, loved it but just couldn't do it lol
yeah, sending it to orange to have it done, it's £200 which includes stripping the existing paint, powedercoating it, faceing and reaming any excess paint, new bearings new decals and a new metal headbadge and return postage.
i've looked into having it done at a local powdercoaters but with all the other stuff that orange includes it doesn't work out much more expensive.
that pink looks lovely, but it wouldn't fit my black and gold colour scheme unfortunately
Don't go Disco Black
I had that on my Orange 5 its goes an White'ish colour in areas
and the Lacquer is soft I changed to Apple Green
Send it to Orange new bearings and decals etc Cant beat it
that was the one i was leaning towards perhaps i'll have to think again! 😕
went for the Jet Black in the end, and i think it looks fantastic. saw a couple of the Disco Blacks and you're right about the lacquer rubbing and going a whiteish colour, (such a shame)
