[Closed] Bike Respray - what colour

Red, everyone one knows that red bikes are fastest.

The red that Niner use. Hot tamale.

ah unfortunate as my gf's heckler is red 🙁

This must be a troll 🙂

What about a pearlescent or matte finishes? Any chance of detail too or is it a straight up paint job?

Also different colour swingarm/main triangle?

Sky blue's a winner and will work with the bars. Like this, not colouring pencil sky blue:

I really liked the pearlescent orange on my Dialled PA, subtle but blingy.

Meh, send it off to be chromed, for that early 80's BMX vibe.....

Then if you get bored, a thin spray of black and laquer and hey presto, you got the famous "Black Chrome" of a Diamond Back Harry Leary Turbo, arguably the finest BMX ever made.....

This must be a troll

No Troll

need to respray before export as the white just looks dirty

since I got it was ready to respray

RAL 8003.

Lilac.

mid blue

Brown, it's the colour of winners

Actually brown with yellow bars sound interesting. Like a banana bike.

RAL 5015

anthracite

raw

Go a pic of the bike Hungry monkey?

Chocolate brown, seriously though If you are worried about the paint colour not working with mud, you need another hobby?

any little scratch on the white paint job just turns to crap...

and as I plan to take the bike to Oz i could do with less interest in dirty marks on the bike

as for brown well no.

Purple

Ok tough choices here

Heckler is white currently but it's not working well with the mud.

So getting a respray/powder coat

[b]Black is to obvious
No Green
Not going for Nukeproof yellow to match the bars[/b]
Tempted by blue not sure which one

Any other ideas??

So your answer is RAW/silver then, assuming it is and aluminium frame underneath?

I quite like that chocolate brown SC ^^

Quite a handy colour guide [url= http://www.liteville.de/t/25_46.html ]here[/url]

Lilac's so odd I bet it would work. Maybe not with the bars...

Brown would let you do an M&Ms colour scheme (old skool, NO BLUE!).

Heckler would look cool raw I bet, if you like that aesthetic.

Otherwise canary yellow or the blue in jockhaggis picture (reminiscent of Cotic bfe to my mind).

This blue is rather fetching...

I'm all about the duck egg blue at the moment.. it's a bit girlie but I've never let that stop me before.. it looks.. err.. 'individual' with the nukeproof yellow..

get it done

For Ref the current look

tempted by blue & yellow (not duck egg though)

Whats the verdict on mix and match swing arms?

anthracite (not my garage... not a great photo)

Pink but keep swing arm White to match the forks.

Send it to Orange and ask for the Apple Green 😉

goo0d choice for Apple green....i have that colour...tho there was another green ..was it 'neon green'..
another colour that isnt seen too much is 'sinbad purple' (one of the colours from the orange factory.....my sons orange alpine is sinbad purple ...tis a cool colour ! 😉

Send it to Orange and ask for the Apple Green

I demoed an orange in Apple green - sorry to my taste I had to do the whole ride not looking at the bike!!

The green rims were toooooo far

A friend has a 5 in Simbad purple do like the effect sort of black but ooo sparkly

No one else will have a lilac bike that actually works.

I'm going for Jewish racing Gold on the front, matt black on the back.

Tarty but who cares?

Heckler works in any colour but what is YOUR favourite colour? This may work for you?

Mines matt grey. Remember Santa Cruz battleship grey from 2005?
Red on cars.
Gold on bikes.

Chrome/mirrored - it'll look amazing.

These guys are very good.. http://www.aerocoat.net/Aeromaxtm.htm

Why oh why would you want change from white, I have a white yeti and I love it. If you are worrying about the odd scratch then polish them out. I also find a good coat of ST85 helps keep it clean

Brown.

get black and then get a boombox playing "black & yellow" by whats his face. All the yoof dem will think you is sik. 🙄
