Stiff-up your brush: paint porn

mor frame than paint porn, i was quite far into buy it.

def frame porn and imo paint porn too

What frame is it

what is it made of?

Haha very funny

Just realised there was a picture on the last page

Hmmm...

I can appreciate the skill, but the colours don't work for me and the two-colour fade into a solid colour is incoherent.

Bit of a mess.

Looking for inspiration to repaint this:

The red on there is really fucked. So I'm going to paint it. The lugs have cutouts so I'd quite like contrasts in those those. Seen one with contrasting seat tube which works quite nicely with the long seatstays passing around it.

I usually like paint pretty basic, but I just fancy something ... y'know ... tasty.

What would you do?

I quite like that snakeskin/ mesh thing that some daccordis on this thread have, also much
copied on 90s Dave Marshes and Rourkes.

But the frame is so fussy I guess it should be pretty plain / elegant.

like this

yellow - orange barber pole seatpost, yellow-orange co-motion style face on the rest of et.

All black everything else.

everything black with gold decals but with a chrome fork and stays

The triple triangle lends itself to some sort of contrast: do one thing with the front triangle and another with the rear one?

I have to say it does look good in red...

Yellow-orange fade is what my Yates has. Tempting. Actually a barber pole could be interesting on an Orrell.

Was thinking greens / yellow, a bit like the daccordi a few pages back.

Or neons. I quite fancy some neons.

Yeah it is actually pretty great in red.

i'd say you'd have to contrast the stays from the rest of the frame

All black everything else.

Hope you didn't mean black parts, I have an allergy to them. All my bikes have silver parts. Always will.

yellow-orange co-motion style face on the rest of et.

@Mechamorgan I'm wondering what you mean by this?

what about something like this but with neon

I think the way the blue crosses the white seat tube and doesn't go all the way to the end of the tube (only until the stays) looks kinda good.

Interesting^ Yeah exactly, that's what I was talking about a contrast seat tube.

Obv that's all about showing off the fact it's 953. My frame's 531, I'll have no chrome added I don't think.

Pete @Fox on here has a triple triangle Orrell with most tubes a deep blue and bright yellow seat tube and head tube. It's natty.

any pictures of it?

No
