Colour scheme recommendations?

Hi everyone,

I want to paint my bike as although i appreciate the rat look frame i now want something more cleaner that pops. Im just really stick on what colour scheme to pick. Ive been looking at the paint porn posts but i just cant decide.

Anyone got any suggestions?

Wow, the other side look so different.

Just put baby blue and get it done with, not worth spending money on a gas piped frame.

I'm looking to put the "oomph" back into breakfast.

I UTFS and marmalade seems to be the way to go.

Any advice?

I'll be painting it myself so it wont cost me much. :)

Im not feeling the cambridge blue look with leather bars. :(

My advice - don't paint it.

Build a new flashy looking bike instead, with foot retention for once.

Ok but coarse cut FTW and never fucking lime or some weird fad derivative

Foot retention?

Foot retention.

Foot retention refers to the fact that you should have 2 ways of braking. On a fixed gear a front brake and foot retention (straps or clippless shoes/pedals) or two brakes.

I'll be painting it myself so it wont cost me much. :)

Once you add up the cost of primer, paint, laquer, and a couple of grades of sandpaper I think you'll be surprised. You'll do well to do it for less than £50.

But don't let that put you off. My vote is lime green.

Colour suggestions...

Im a graffiti artist so i already have the paint. Dont need primer with graff paint and already got the laquer. Im feeling lime green, like the hulk :)

I have any colour from these..

An artist with all the colours but no ideas. Bad times.

I know man, complete writers block haha.

But our suggestion would be based on what precisely?

Colours that you think are succesfull. Personal taste. For example theres a very select colour palate ive seen with bikes with what seems to be unwritten rules. Which tubes are coloured, how many colours, fades, chromes etc.

Hulk fade - purple/green/white from front to back.

matte pond water and cinderblock

Good suggestion :)

Cambridge blue with white fades with brown leather tape and saddle.

i actually did smile at that. I see what you did there.

Beige vortex

A good one is shocking pink, black with mint green accents.
This palette:

possible..

Good advice about the foot retention. Remember not to ride on the pavement as well.
