A friend of mine is building me a new frame, he's a new builder and is cutting me a good deal. Part of the deal however is that he gets to play in his new paintbooth and give it an outrageous paintjob. Anyone got any inspiration?
I don't think there are enough high gloss purple bikes in the world, but what else?
I'm drawn towards glitter, eyemelting klein fades and old school splatterpaint konas. Maybe a mixture of all of those?
I'm quite fond of things like this:

Pegoretti used to get quite funky
Festka do nice stuff, I like Field's too.
+1 for pegoretti.
Indy Fab do some great fades and flames.

Groovy cycles do some funky paint jobs http://www.groovycycleworks.com/gallery
Klein used to do it properly. Dario Pegoretti has an interesting take as well. Why not go for the VW look and paint each tube a different stock colour. At least it will give practice in masking.
Outrageous in what way?

Have a look at Field Cycles too.
I've looked at loads of stuff like this as I'm dying to paint something! I think you can do pretty much whatever you want. If you make a complete mess, after you've flatted it back and lacquered it it looks professional and deliberate anyway.
