Word. The mint green is a really cool color. I really want to paint my bike... but I'm too lazy to take it all apart.

I've never seen your bike. Since it's together and stuff you should take pictures.

It looks like crap right now. It still has some leftover pieces of stickers (from my quick attempt to desticker it), and it has a lot of paint missing. It also has a brake cable that isn't attached to the brakes. I also found out that not having flanges on the brake lever side is not fun.

WD-40 and a rag removes sticker gunk. Then sand it down a bit and give her a fresh coat of your favorite color!

Yeah, I did that a bit, but parts of stickers still remain because my stickers were all shredded and in like 50 million pieces. I don't know what color I would paint my bike.

Yeah, I know about that stuff. I just have to go out and find it and hope it's not very expensive.

Paint it something that no one else is doing. Yellow, orange, a crazy shade of green, maroon...

Something different.

Too much padding which makes the seams rip. The material almost sticks to your ass if you sit down, and besides, they don't look very nice

I think like a orange and black scheme would be sweet.

They look the same as a junior with a bit more padding, and to prevent the ripping thats why you get the kevlar version. But who cares it's a damn seat, they rip. I've also never experienced one "sticking to my ass", and I barely sit on my seat anyway.
