Mountain Biking - What color should I powdercoat my project? :POLL:

Bikeforums.net is a forum about nothing but bikes. Our community can help you find information about hard-to-find and localized information like bicycle tours, specialties like where in your area to have your recumbent bike serviced, or what are the best bicycle tires and seats for the activities you use your bike for.
I have a few options, and I'm just wondering what you guys think. :)

How bout just like the picture, flat back for the rear suspension and candy red for the main frame.
That amethist looks like an xmart bike color!

Baby blue is hot.
Yes, either the blue, or the flat black. Or a combination of the two, if that's possible.

Yea flat black is really nice too. Its simple but looks nice. I wouldn't combine both though. One or the other.

Go with the flat black for sure it will look sweet!
Nice colours. Baby blue looks real nice and so does Candy apple red. But I can't go past flat black. I can just imagine the bike that colour...!

If Corvette Orange isn't an option , use candy apple red

what the hell is that?
My bike is flat black and it's pretty much my favorite color, but that candy apple red just looks too hot! I liked the suggestion above about mixing the red and black.

flat black is so boring, add some spice and make it shiny

How about mirror black and candy apple red?

I know it wasn't one of your choices but I say Hot Rod (bright) yellow, with black 4 link rear bars.
I do love the candy apple red. I personally had this guy do my Honda valve cover in it, and I love it. I'm just not so sure how I would like it on my bike. I've always thought it would look awsome if it were all black.

Just not too sure what I'm gonna end up going with at this point.

yeah mirror black and red or orange... ya know
baby blue wrinkle, i like best. next, the red. personally, for bikes, i really dont like blacks. black is my favorite color for cars. but for some reason i just dont think blacks ever do justice to the form of a bike. i think the shape, form and appearance of a bicycle, be it a dually or hardtail, present both the idea and the application of its form, shape etc more acutely and accurately than any other mechanism i have ever seen. and to color something that articulate black seems to me very unfair. eh, call me crazy. anyway. i hope this project pans out well for you man. i think it will. best of luck!

Red is the race color. Fastest.
I dope my red bike up with flat black so it doesn't bust my @$$.
Too fast.

I definantly recommend the red. Its just the nicest color, especially for bikes. I have a red bike as a matter of fact. That color would look great with that shiney mirror black too. Something about shine makes it look so new. The blue is an appealing color but theres no shine.

Ohh, purty. :D
I just had my frame powdercoated. The color was a
mellow yellow.
candy apple red main frame, gloss black rear triangle. That would be the s***!

Hmm... personally I only think camo for guns looks good.
I've always wanted a flat or polished WHITE frame with black parts to give it a sharp contrast. But... too bad that's not on your list.

My cousins fs frame is like that, White frame and black rear triangle and stem and bar ect. I absolutely love the color combination.

I think mirror black would look really cool. But the amethist is kinda money and would give it a really unique look.

Pink with flames.
Haha...I really do think the pink would look tight, but I'm not really that kinda of guy...lol.
Hrmm choices, choices...
mirror black would look insane. whatever you choose, hook us up with some pics when its done.
amethist would be my second choice because no one will have the same color bike as you.

ooooowwwwww I changed my mind, how about 16 VALVE DOHC 2000 pink ?

how about candy red with flat black rear triangle. i think, shiny rust/orange with flat black rear triangle would also look cool. from the color diagram point of view, red and black combination gives you the most contrast and makes it the most striking.

I like the white that's why I went with white for my frame. I say Mirror black frame, gloss blue linkage bars.
I'm not really that fond of going with 2 colors. however, If I can make the 4 link out of aluminum, I might just polish it and coat the main part of the frame candy apple red or mirror black.

Go with the red. Black is so 2004.
Red (particularly red ano) is the new white - just remember, you heard it here first.

I reckon a white with black flames or something would look awesome
