Help...What color??
So I'm building a fixie/ss up from an old centurion frame my uncle gave me. I've almsot fully stripped the bike of the paint and so now I'm not sure what color to paint it.
I'm going to be riding on blue deep v's with black spokes and black hubs with a gold sugino rd messenger crankset i think. Both are one there way.
So what color should i paint the frame??
I was thinking black or white.
Any suggestions or ideas please.
I planned on painting it myself
thanks....and I'm a newbie too

you will regret the fact that you converted a centurion into a 'fixie'
suggestions for paint colour.... purple with white sparkles powder coated and have a centurion decal put back on the top coat then give 3 layers of clear liquid coating to bring it back to life... then put on 6 speeds onto that bike and some old shimano arabesque 600ex /dura ace ex or some old campy c record groupo...

I also thought about a red....not to bright but not to deep
i think that could look cool
then throw an ironman sticker back on it....cause the red and gold..i thought it would be kinda cool

I'm sure all of us would love to see your bike that you put your efforts into
Also if you are painting it still go MATTE WHITE... never seen that for a bike... always matte black or black or gloss white...matte white would look like chal and that polar bear pic did say something
