Poll: New paint job!

Hi everyone!

I have decided to put a new finish on my fixie, as it really can't look worse than it does now. I'm torn between either white with Candy Apple red front end/forks or British Racing green with the lugs picked out in red.

I'm up for any other strokes of genius as to colours though!

I'll post pics of the frame in its current state if anyone's interested.

Thanks!

Joe

British Racing Green, polished/shiny lugs.

Or full British Racing Green with nothing added.

Green.

I love white bikes. I was planning on going white with my project, but I already have four white bikes and it seems like 25% of the bikes on this forum are white.

Find a local graffiti artist who is good enough to use an airbrush and tell him he can paint your bike for free that you'll cover the cost of paint. Give him a general color scheme and let him paint a full landscape across your tubes.

There are plenty of good young artists who will paint for free if they have a canvas to paint on.
