Thanks a lot for that. It's a really useful thing to know.
Plus it's stopped me looking at a whole load of shitly coloured kids bikes on ebay.
Something you've probably thought of, but popped into my head is using Harley-style black wrinkle paint. Would fit the beefy aesthetic. Particularly on the frames with lots of surfaces from multiple tubes and crowns as you'd get a slight shine/contrast when their near each other.
Picked that tube I painted up yesterday and the blue paint was really powdery, came away on my hands. Thought it was quite strange because the paint job on the bike (which admittedly has clear coat over it) is seeming really pretty durable.
