Cheers @TM, I actually decided to go for a caliper - the brake bosses weren't straight, and it irritated me! also, as the segmented fork is designed for a ~25c tyre, it tapers inwards at the top (unlike the MTB version which are straight) so I felt a caliper would be a neater option (also give the option to remove it for a cleaner look)
Popped down to Mario Vaz's this morning, and dropped the frame off with him... checking out some paint samples here, and matching it to the Yo Eddy reference (Mario's going to mix up a lime green with more yellow in it - this sample is actually more of a candy apple in the light)
I did this quick mockup of the rough fade direction i'm after (roughly an "average" angle of the top tube and seatstay angles.
I also provided some digital photos of the Yo Eddy as a reference, as the colours are obviously totally off printed in CMYK
