Thinking of getting my 5 spot re coated as it looks a bit tatty at the moment.
Not sure what colour to go for !!
Ive got white forks and bits of blue hope stuff
What do you think ?
Show us your non standard colours then
White, obviously
gold with glitter, or rainbow stripes.
Was going to say orange but the blue bits wouldn't go so well...how about Duck egg blue?
White pearl with a blue glitter finish fade would look awesome.
Was thinking of having it done in the old cove baby blue ?
I like that royal blue !!^^
Problem is that's not royal blue, it's electric blue!
EDIT: First pic. Second appears to me some pastel monstrosity. 😀
Royal blue and white you say?

Black?
That surf green is lush though, I do love early 60's strats
WHats the closest RAL colour to that green??
6019 or 6021 or am I colour blind?
Florescent pink of course, the only way to go!
[I]Raw would be my second choice..[/I]
Yep

Not sure of the RAL code, but Paul at Cotic advised me to get [b]Tamiya X15 Actylic paint[/b] for touch up.
Here are a few options for you from my back catalogue.

Cove Kermit green
Specialized team red with white decals or pink
Do you know I absolutely love all of you! You talk a lot of 5hit, have some lovely bikes AND make me laugh ALOT!!!!!£ but really?..... What a bunch of girls!! White goes with anything! Pick a colour....a coulour you like. Then put it with your very very expensive white forks (that go with any old colour btw!) simples!....
Please don't ask me about current affairs- I haven't got a scooby! 😳 😕
White goes with most strong colours, so, pick a colour that [i]doesn't[/i] go with black, it'll be less common.
PS British Racing Green. [i]Obviously. [/i]
Was going to say orange but the blue bits wouldn't go so well...
My Wolf Ridge is bright, metallic sunburst ORANGE! and I've matched it with blue hope hubs, clamp and headset. It actually works...after a fashion (or not).
Going back to the OP, any relatively subdued hue of blue, green or red will do...but that raw Commencal looks absolutely ace.
I agree with Daveyboywonder
What a stupid question.
EVERY colour goes with White, same with Black. Why do you think those are the two most common colours by a mile that forks come in?
unvolo - I like the [s]cut of your jib[/s] sparkles in your paint.
Persona... If you thinks it's a stupid question why bother answering??
It's not just the forks. I also have lots of blue hope stuff I can't afford to change.
Lots if people customize their own bikes by having them painted! It's what makes them different!
Thanks for your helpful input..
Good point!If you thinks it's a stupid question why bother answering??
Latest question duely ignored 😉
Wow you have only been on here since the end of June and really do come across as a bit of a knob already!
Thanks! What can I say.. I'm a fast learner, how long did it take you?Wow you have only been on here since the end of June and really do come across as a bit of a knob already!
Nockmeister is that a standard colour?
