Bicycle Paint job Ideas

or go with basic color theory and use blue... blue and orange is and has always been one of my fave color combos. it's actually sort of what i'm working with now, I've even got a friend working on some custom lettering for the top tube.

Nail Varnish multicoloured strokes. Or normal paint with thin brush :)

white with orange "bubbles".

A clearcoated over patina of rust.

wrap it in bartape.

I would go royal blue with the orange scheme. (orange hubs make me lol for some reason)

Maybe post a photo of your wheelset?

Question regarding paint job & such:

For those who have gotten their frame powder-coated/painted. Is there a difference? Powder-coating better? And how much should one pay for a quality paint job?

Haven't gotten one myself but from what's posted around here, powdercoat is more durable.

Dark blue, orange metal flake

This. Sharpie looks good if you do it right!

I need something semi easy cause i have to do it myself.

Thanks for the help so far. No black and yellow cause i'm TEXAN sorry


HOW DO YOU DO THE SHARPIE LIKE THAT**********??? SO FREAKING COOL!!!!!!!!

Artist creativity and skill; lots of sharpies (as I swear when a sharpie starts losing ink, it starts smearing the ink you laid down previously causing blurs and smears...)

^ This is because sharpies use a certain type of oil as the base. It is what makes them permanent and it is why you can sometimes remove sharpie with sharpie. When that starts to happen the oil to pigment ratio is off so your diluting the pigment you already laid down.

I am full of useless info!

I think a white bike with a few orange accents would look good. I know it's not a bicycle but good inspiration
