Getting Colorful
So I bought an Allez Comp Race to beat around during winter and now decide to put some paint on it for spring. Fair warning process will be slower than last time. (Roubaix)

Gee thanks, you just had to go and upstage my current matte-black Allez build.
[Dejected sigh.]
But seriously, very very nice paint job! Will definitely turn heads.

Pretty sweet, looks like the chameleon paint used on the Mustang Cobra back in the 90's, ever thought of doing one in House of Kolor's Long Glo paing so it will glow in the dark?

That is so much better than all of the boring black bikes out there.

Thanks for all the feedback and comments.
Sorry bad timing.
No most of the glo kolors fade rather quick.
Not much progress as of now, sanded it down debating on decals, color and what not.
