I am full of useless info! |
^ Haha I am an avid sharpie lover/user and I hate it when that happens. Then you remember how expensive those things are!

I had a bike powder coated "Home Depot Orange" a few years ago (yes-that was the actual name on the paint chip.) The shop charged $100 for the frame/fork. I stripped to bare metal, threaded in a few old bolts in the bottle cage mounts and left in old cups from a junky headset, and BB. The shop knew enough to tape off the fork stem with some high-temp masking tape. Too bad I don't have any pictures for ya, it looked sharp.

So if i decide to go base white. does anyone know any tips or tricks for cool looking DIY accents???? i just want it to look awesome!
i wanna do gunmetal but don't know if it will look good with white spokes |

good place to find colors that go well with one another. You can custom search and all that. |
Color Ideas again please
So i painted the frame gunmetal to go with my orange wheels.
Since they are orange with white spokes would it look better with a white seatpost and white stem or black stem and black seatpost? Thanks |
I would say black unless you're going for the creamsicle look. I'm not saying there's anything wrong with that
