    My KH20 is getting pretty battered so I was thinking of a new paint job
    I thought I could get it powdercoated white then add detail. This was a
    design I came up with quickly, what do you think? any better ideas or
    colour schemes would be cool.

    i say take it bare and then scratches wont show up as much.... but looks
    pretty cool. Dont paint the seatpost though looks [censored]. Just use a
    black crmo one.

    trials uni's are meant to look a little battered though :P

    I've always liked white frames, and setting it off with a secondary
    colour like blue works well. (Hint - get blue pedals too 🙂 )

    Not too sure about the 3 stripes on it though... unless the Adidas
    sponsorship has finally come through 😄 If you're spraying rather than
    powerder coating, why not do it white, then spray the bearing holders
    blue and fade that in up the length of the fork?

    nobody knows what happened to that boy after that.-Nutcracker

    i know. he was kidnapped by aliens, learnt their ways, stole the
    biggest ship he could, travelled back in time by mistake and crashed
    the plane on the earth surface. he was the one who killed the
    dinosaurs. -ivan

    it is easy to do the blend on the frame even if you are powdercoating.
    and you can fix any mistakes way easier

    it's like running across the highway at rush hour. Dangerous, stupid,
    but not really that fun.
