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".
