Suggestions wanted Pink paint job

Posted on
  • Some colleagues at work are going to make smoothies to sell for breast cancer awareness.

    I am toying with the ideas of:
    A. Making a 'pedal-your-own-smoothie' maker.
    B. Painting or decorating my bike in pink as it's the colour for the Breast Cancer Awareness campaign.

    I don't want the paint job to be permanent, and need some suggestions how I can make it all look like a proper job.

    As another option, how easy is vinyl to apply and remove?

    ...also thought of doing some spoke cards for the day too.

    Ideas welcome. Thanks!

  • Borrow shinscar's GT.

  • Cheers Object, does Shinscar live anywhere near Liverpool?

    I like that. I may borrow some of my kids paints to try it out.

    It's for a good cause and the others always put in loads of effort organising stuff. It's a bit of fun too.

    I've just got to try making one of these: http://www.instructables.com/id/How-to-create-a-human-powered-bike-blender-for-les/

    there the ones who do the bikes for this.

    You can also try contacting innocent smoothies they had those bikes when i used to work there.
    there always down to help out a good cause.

    doing your own, you could always buy some junk halfords £50 bike and paint that up.
    then dontate it.

    viynl will be expensive.

    Don't confuse me with your geography.
