Ha! I'm feeling the pressure.
To be clear I do know who's painting it, but haven't firmed up the date with @hoops yet.
I saw the frame @danstuff built, which he'd sprayed with Chromaflair paint. Totes rad and saved me much faffing over a design. But I've now decided that Chromaflair is a bit "Max Power" (no offence).
But in my paint research I came upon Spectraflair which is more [ahem] subtle and works well on curved surfaces, ie tubes. It's all about the Max tube shapes and the wishbone and I want something that shows these off.
However... I've since decided that SF would work better on my TT bike, due to all the carbon (Ventus, trispoke, disc): like this TVR.
Of course matching bikes is an option...
Plus, although with a single colour it's just as important to have a skilled painter, it seems a shame to waste hoops creative flair, so at the moment I'm leaning towards just sending him the frame and saying "surprise me".
Glad to hear the project hasn't run out of steam, I was worried I won't lie. Tough when you're not sure of the builder, too much choice can be tricky eh. Any paint ideas worth mentioning?
