Thanks, Chucklehead. Right now I see the beautiful blue sky. Perhaps a metallic sky blue or like you say, metallic lime green like the vines growing in the backyard. Of course, I'll have to look at twenty different swatches of metallic sky blue to get the right one. Maybe like the light blue on this bike from NAHB but with a metallic accent:


Soma's Delancey in metallic garnet looks very nice; much nicer in person than on the screen. It's a bit dark, though. Best appreciated up close. Like a local rider's purple Colnago. Twenty feet away, it's a nondescript dark color.

Btw, I've got another bike being shipped off to be repainted and repaired.

Projected After:

Instead of the matte charcoal at the bottom, I want a gloss black to match the glossy red.
