What color paint?

I'm going to have my new frame powdercoated, then hand pinstripe the lugwork in orange. What color should I go with? I was thinking a dark gray. Opinions?

Heres the frame (it's Reynolds 653 tubing):

Leave it as it is! It's beautiful in that colour.

That's a pretty subjective thing to ask isn't it. At the end of the day you'll go with whatever you want...

The new colour that I learnt this week, off of Mr Eyebrows......Violent!

Black powdercoat and then the lugs picked out in black pinstripe ;-)

It depends if he wants to go fast. Red, of course, being the fastest.

True. Red is universally acknowledged as being the fastest colour.

metallic royal blue.

this colour:

glow in the dark

So you've decided the lug-lingin colour, but NOT the main colour? Un peu strange, non? FWIW Ivory with orange would look good, as would grey or chocolate. Burgundy traditionally goes well with orange, or more adventurously, teal.

I've been looking at a ton of pics but can't find anything with the scheme I have in mind. I guess that's a good thing?

I think you should get it painted white. Then get pages 1-57 of Dostoevsky's 'The Idiot' turned into transfers, which you wrap around the entire frame (a la Hippy's cunt bike).

Colour.

Maybe a dark copper/burnt orange/rust colour with a dark gray pinstripe.

Greyscale.

Penis red or anus purple.

pink . . .

Powder Blue. Like below.
Sorry for posting a pic of a car! I think I might be evil.

Now we know what to expect in the Spring catalogues Ru.

wrong my friends, as everybody knows, black wheels are faster, so... black is the faster colour, no red.

anyway strong orange with white lining and white decals is always a winner

Use your mind to stop the image on the colour you most like.
