You pretty much covered every possibility, you're very smart! Black electrical tape

Lol, an idea if yiu wanted a quick weekend project. Take off the electrical tape, tape off the colored areas and use plastidip. It woukd look better than electrical tape. I personally like the covered areas with a different finish.

Just checked that plasti-dip out on YouTube, never seen it before. Wonder how many cans it would take to do a whole frame?.........See what you've started!

[MENTION=128682]primov8[/MENTION] did his frameset. If I remember correctly he said he used just 1 can.

I did my brothers wheels for his car and it turned out great

I would think 2 cans to cover a whole frame thoroughly if you're making drastic color changes.

I've used it on my truck and it's pretty awesome. Make sure you spray it nice and evenly or else it gets fuzzy.

As far as human centipede bikes go, that Calfee is pretty nice.

28. Classic 65 in the Rear. Classic 45 in the front.

Was supposed to both be 65's, but they're discontinued, and we could only find one 28 spoke 65.
