Since a while I thought to give my bike a new paint, but on the other hand I bought the frame for the paint it has... but got bored a little bit with it. Basically these colors, a gradient from yellow / orange / purple to dark blue, but a really deep blue, like the sky on the top when the sun went down while ago, and the logo letters in yellow or orange or even better an orange to magenta gradient:
Now I have an aluminium frame, with a really nice blue color and vintage style, but stickers and a typo ('HAND MADE IN ITALY'). Damn, I hate that type – or isn't it a typo and OK? Like UK and US English differences? Argh.
As I saw it isn't that easy to find some frame painters here, so should I go the DIY route, let it sandblast, and buy a mediocre airbrush gun, a compressor, etc. and paint it for myself? I only used rattle cans in the past for ah um ... bicycle frames. Or find a painter to send it to? Or I leave that idea as it is.
