Coral Snake Paint Scheme

Howdy everybody. I haven't been around the forums in a bit but I got to a point in my latest project that I wanted to share.

Bike started life as an orange motobecane messenger. It has been through many changes from bullhorns to cruiser bars and fixed gear to 7-speed IGH and back. The latest change was stripping the bike down to bare metal and laying down an eye catching "coral snake" inspired paint job. It looks sweeter in real life than the pictures can show. I can't wait to get it reassembled and get back to riding it.



for reference:



Yes, masking a frame to lay down 3 colors takes forever. The masking tape was ripped and the uneven torn edge was used to give a more natural/snake-like fade between the colors. Thanks for checking it out.
