Project - Tri Bike strip and respray

[kingalton]

Howsit guys

 

with Tri season in a dip at the moment, I decided to strip my Tri bike and get it resprayed.

 

thinking of going raw carbon, with a clear coat and the branding in black (maybe thin red pin stripe around the lettering)

 

will have minimal branding on the fork, down tube and stays I think.

 

Want to go for a nice stealthy look

 

will post pics as it progresses.

 

here is the pic of the stripped frame so far.

I need to get Abel`s nr from you some time - I think Venzuela, my green Machine - needs to become a sexy little black nr soon!

 

Im thinking Matt back with gloss decals, just a little white to pinstripe the decals. Maybe some Gray/Granite somewhere.

i would add some white edging around the branding and make the red a bit brighter ('cause redder is faster)

Abel did work for me before too, good quality work indeed.

Quick update - the decals are apparently all sorted and the frame should be getting the new lick of paint this week..

 

as soon as I have some pics, I will upload them..

 

getting excited to see how it comes out..
