I'm a painter and when i walk into the paint room as you can tell i'm spoilt for choice what colour to paint my frame
Its the 06 model same as this

?t=1245090826[/img]
but in liquid blue, So far my colour choices have been lime green, orange or yellow which i had second thoughts on and thought its a bit lairy 😆
Then thought of Spraying it purple and laying a blue pearl over it to give it a sort of flip effect 😯
Whites common as muck, Black looks good but had a black bike before, Pain it the rear and showed every mark up.
So i've since thought about a nice copper red, Thoughts??
Or does anyone know any nice colours so i can have a look at the chips for an idea
KOTM --> White with red dots! 😉 Simples!
Lime green looks mint.
bright red.........cos that is fast innit...... 8)
Red copper - I like the Turner copper colour option on the 5 spot.
Lime Green... hmmmm (dubious tone, not yum yum)
I reckon lime green is a bit overdone these days, although it would look good on that frame. I've got a Kona Pahoehoe in copper red - it looks neat but I'm bored of it so it's getting orange and black Jagermeister livery soon..
Kawasaki green would be my choice but theres tooo similar a one for the latest frames as standard.
Pale violet or really pale pale pink IMO sets off the red bits.
I've got a nice olive green one, if I was to respray I'd go for yellow or/and brown though..

Matt black... The only colour that looks better once you ding it.
chromium yellow with drain pipe grey decals' my ex gf painted her kossack motorbike in this scheme and it nearly made it look cool
Loved my rootbeer Heckler.
whoooooaaa canary yellow with white decals and a a graphite rear end?
PINKm and if it glows in the dark then that's even better! - if it glows in the light then that would bonus points

Santa Cruz gangrene here:
Obviously red will make the bike go faster. I believe it has been scientifically proved beyond any doubt whatsoever to make a bike lighter also.
Either cadburys purple a nice glossy magnolia or your take on the syndicate job

Metallic Copper...
Greens funny but cool...
Or just do it Coffee & cream..
My next paint MISSION....
How about a sort of bronze metallic. Like the SC Skidmark colour but a little lighter. Very subtle, very different
Copper you say? Do you mean like this at all...

I bought the bike based on price and spec, but have grown to really like the colour too.
