  1. suggestion.

    I'm toying with the idea of havng my old Orange resprayed.

    I would normally leave it as the very worn old matt black stonechip is starting to rust through
    nicely and in a way the distressed look rather suits it.

    On the other hand, the prospect of having it painted a truly revolting colour is tempting. It's got
    to be good revolting, not bad revolting - i.e. no flouro colours need apply,

    Thoughts....

    Andy Chequer, maybe some stickers too

    How about a pastel split-pea green/lavender paint mix?

    Lime green, passionfruit purple, midnight blue, mid yellow - paint each tube one colour and move on
    to the next. Don't argue, just get to it.

  9. Gents / Ladies / Rimmer,

    Thanks for all the suggestions. If I had any paints I'd probably have gone along with Rimmer's
    suggestion by now. Thank you God.....

    Following the Spade's mention of poo, I'm currently thinking of a hearing-aid beige rear/ metallic
    dysenterry brown fade, maybe with flames if I can get em.

    Then you can all watch it on "The World's Zaniest Chainstays", coming to a dodgy cable
    channel near you.

    Andy Chequer, had a pus beige mini once.

    Honestly, flames are pretty cheesy. Bad cheesy too imo. There was a post (i think) with a link to
    somebody's self built (literally) bike which could be dismantled at some joints. That bike had an
    interesting (and gaudy) colour scheme. cool idea for chainstay too, remember to put it on the non
    drive side.
