Toying with taking my Scandal to ESP powdercoaters up here in Glasgow, but can't quite decide on colour.

like the sky blue/baby blue bikes, but that seems to look best on skinny steel bikes, so thinking something bright perhaps?

any ideas? before I get it stripped and rattle can it glow in the dark blue?

accompanying pics encouraged.

Orange.

The answer is always orange.

More specifically RAL 2004 version of orange...

Always a colour that the bike was never available in, otherwise why bother. In this case I reckon I'd extend that to Inbreds because arbitrary reason.

If it was me, a very bright yellow, maybe sulphur yellow.

I'd like to see your handy work teamslug. Do you take orders?

And if so.... Whereabouts are you?

That purple Shand's lovely.

Slightly metallic, smurf blue Five here - decidedly not skinny steel 🙂

Top tip - stick random RAL numbers into google images to get a good idea of how they really look.
