What Color Should I Paint My Frame
Ok, so my 2007 Marcelo is looking beat up with huge scratches on my top tube from a bad trunk rack, a nasty scratch when a nail went completely through my tire and scrapped the inside of my chain stay, a nice little circle where my water bottle sat after the tab broke on my Tacx Tao, and various chain inflicted wounds.
As a result of all of this, I have decided to have the frame repainted. So I submit my poll to the BF Cogoscenti for consideration.
Samples:
Kandy Orange
Pearl Orange
Oops forgot the frame!

I have the same decision to make. I think I'm gonna choose black with black frame stickers. Stealthy.
FYI - Spectrum Powder Works in Colorado Springs has a large bike photo gallery.

What if the flames are red?
I think if you paint it with orange it should have white accents somewhere. I've always loved that creamcicle color scheme.

I hadn't considered it. Did you have anything in mind?

Hmmm, I'd consider red flames. That might be nice. The saddle is blue and I have blue Lorica bar tape that I was going to use.

Same dilemma here. I have 2 steel frames that need repainting, but the color choices are too many

A nice frame like yours deserves something less pedestrian that what you seem to have in mind. My suggestion is orange with metallic blue panels and white lettering, along these lines.

I'm with sced. Two reasons. 1) I have an old Holdsworth and 2) this is the only Pegoretti cplour scheme I ever liked:
I hate the ridiculous colour schemes Dario comes up with.
