I'm planning to respray a bike frame and am having a debate with daughter about what colour scheme.
I've found various BMX and one MTB colour scheme configurator website that allows you to change the colour of parts of the bike. But I can't find anything that allows more detailed frame paint options.
I'd like to be able to play with things like fades and splatters and all those fun things.
Did anyone know of such a site?

You'll be better off just looking at galleries of existing bikes with interesting paint jobs. Such as... www.instagram.com/squidbikes or www.squidbikes.com/blogs/rattlecan

You'll never find something that does what you're asking and even if it did the colours would be miles away from real life. It's bad enough trying to get consistency from monitor to monitor.

Ooh-err

I know GIMP is good for conjuring up images but, er, I didn't want that one 😆

It's clunky as 'owt but BikeCAD can do some of this (may take an age to load): https://www.bikecad.ca/demo.php
