[#5836426]

Thinking about respraying a 2nd hand frame for t'missus.

Previous 'big bike' for her was brown, which she loved. She also has a Yeti in 'that turquoise'.

Brief for new bike colour was 'maybe I could have it colourful'.

Inspire me, please

Dave

quite liking the idea of 'cotic blue' or some sort of yellow like that covert carbon.

Where do people stand on respraying fork legs... got some slightly scuffed black lyriks - spray them to match? contrasting colour? leave them be?

Tracey who did the paint jobs? Were you happy with them and how much did it cost?

I Think I shall get my EL Guapo resprayed at some point... On One shouldn't bother painting their frames as the finish is so poor..

thanks everyone...,. I think my current favourite is the gloss yellow of the covert; would go very well with black decals as well as the black forks and kit that I mostly have to build it with.

Not my bike though, so I'll be showing her this thread to see what she reckons!

Cheers,
Dave

Moving my gaze from the sheer beauty of Simonjjs transition to saccades bike below was a real shock to the system (no offence intended saccades).
That could only be replicated by having testicles gently heated with a hair dryer for ten minutes before then being kicked into a wheelie bin filled with ice water.

I think I actually flinched. ๐Ÿ˜€

sorry saccades.

All done at LSN coatings in Castleford.They strip and mask the frame before powdwecoating. All have been first class jobs at a reasonable price.
