When I was a sprayer I always felt that the most elaborate paint schemes looked the cheapest.I always ended up painting my bikes just one unusual colour.

Not sure about the colour but that looks like a really nice frame. Are you using it as a cx or as a road bike?

Naked black carbon is the only way.

Option 3 without the paint on the stays, instead finishing on the top tube to line up with the downtube paint

vinyl wrap would be nice as you can some awesome results that you would struggle to paint, but as im trying to keep cost down it's only £25 for a 1 colour paint job

I reckon the white looks best, but loving the Norco - especially the colour breaks lining through across the frame and forks.

White one... In pic1 above, though I'd angle the downtube "strips" to match the fork angle/seat angle..

You need to get the angles of the pin strip all the same.

At the moment they are all over the place.

Seat tube matching too?

Colour needs running down the seat tube a bit to to balance the lines. Nice though!

I might be tempted by raspberry pink with carbon or perhaps some mint sauce style flowers vinyl wrapped around head/seat/bottom bracket junctions.

Yeah, just opened this thread, but straight away on the original post I thought the pin stripes all need to scribe a straight line right through. Like the Norco.

I like the red, mainly 'cos red ones are faster. 😀

Yes, like that. But I like the way the colour stops at the bridge originally, so you'll have to angle the line up towards the back.

Don't take my word for it though. I have all the style sense of Lady Gaga sent into Oxfam with a fiver and the instruction to 'make yourself look rediculous'

The Norco looks good. Just copy that in terms of the angle of the bottom lines.

Colour is personal - I like the Norco green. I also like orange.
My favs of the ones you've posted so far is red.

I think a diamond, continuous coloured stripe along top tube, seat and chain stays, and back up down tube. Leave forks and seat tube black.

On a Chromebook otherwise I'd do something unimpressive in MS Paint 🙂
