  1. I've been wanting to do something like this for a while now. I was
    getting bored of "plain" paint jobs in ONE solid color, and didn't
    really want to spend a lot on p.coating and all that jazz. So I decided
    to experiment on a "camoflage" design on my 24" Torker DX muni, since
    I'm out there in the "wilderness" I thought this concept would look
    pretty cool, plus be somewhat unique since I've not seen any other uni
    in camoflage design, although there are probably some other ones out
    there. Anyway, I got the idea from my riding shorts which just happen
    to be...camo. I'm very happy with how well it came out. In addition to
    the frame, I ended up doing the seatpost, cranks and saddle bumpers
    too! And since my muni routinely gets "beat up" on the trails, it won't
    much matter now! It's CAMO! 😎 😎 😎 😎

    Uni is just a cycle I'm going through. 😎

  2. And you can see where my idea came from! You can barely see the seat
    post tube it blends in so well!😄

    I want it to remain flat.I don't want it glossy. I tried to find flat
    clear but they only had satin, so I guess I'll have to use that.

    I thought about that, so I probably will, plus I'll do the SPOKES too!
    And maybe the tire and seat! just kidding! But since I don't need/use
    brakes, I can also do the SIDES of the rim, which currently are silver.

    Might be tricky masking off the spokes, but it's doable. But the sides
    of the rim will likely get scratched up when removing/installing the
    tire after the piant job. Maybe I'll just do a flat-black rim. What'ya
    think?

    Yup, Duro. I think I will paint the rim flat black though. Yeah, I did
    do the saddle bumpers in camo, but it's a little hard to see in the pic.

  18. Too bad they don't just sell the seat COVERS, like the fusion. 'cause
    the cover is all I need; Ihave the saddle, plus I don't relish the
    thought of having to tear up ANOTHER seat to make ANOTHER air
    saddle.:eek:
