Problem: color scheme for my 1971 Mercian Vincitore
I thought I had settled this in my mind. I've at least picked the main color, but now as it comes time to paint I'm starting to have second thoughts about the overall paint scheme. So, time to phone a friend....
I'm painting the frame cobalt blue. I want good contrast with the chrome lugs -- the lugs will be the star of the show. But over the past week I've started to think that maybe I need a white head tube and a white panel on the seat tube for a couple of reasons: (1) It just looks classy, and (2) I'm not sure about the Mercian head badge on a deep blue tube. My concern is that the lugs won't pop as much with a white head tube.
What would you do?
