Stall_Gear Posted September 6, 2017 Posted September 6, 2017 OK, so got my hands on this beauty, and some overenthusiastic elbow grease means she has lost the 4 layers of junk and is down to the bare metal, but needing some inspiration to really make her look good with a good paint job... Something more modern / bright? Any suggestions?...
Mongoose! Posted September 6, 2017 Posted September 6, 2017 If it was mine, I would only put a clear coat on. Bare metal look
Stall_Gear Posted September 6, 2017 Author Posted September 6, 2017 I thought so too, but the current plan is to try clean up an old set of Campag Atlanta 96 rims (which are silver already)... so too much silver leaving frame bare!If it was mine, I would only put a clear coat on. Bare metal look
Letum911 Posted September 6, 2017 Posted September 6, 2017 Why not go for a matt clear coat on the tubing and then a detailed colour for the lugs? For instance a subtle blue with blue chain bolts?
Rata-tat-tat Posted September 6, 2017 Posted September 6, 2017 Why not a pale grey for headtube, downtube, seattube and chainstays. Pearly white for the seatstays, dropouts and toptube. Chrome or pearly white fork.

Dieter! Posted September 6, 2017 Posted September 6, 2017 Already done in vinyl on my single speed I'm saying print the actual picture that many times and just doodle colours and shapes Just added your little skull there for fun but 45-60 skulls looks very sick on your SS!
pista Posted September 6, 2017 Posted September 6, 2017 Do you have any idea what frame that is? Orange or red look pretty cool on vintage frames.
Simon Kolin Posted September 6, 2017 Posted September 6, 2017 How about something simple but beautiful, like this???

Stall_Gear Posted September 6, 2017 Author Posted September 6, 2017 Supposedly an Alpina... really well made - normally paint is used to hide the flaws in workmanship, but not in this case!Do you have any idea what frame that is? Orange or red look pretty cool on vintage frames.

Dieter! Posted September 6, 2017 Posted September 6, 2017 I like something like this. I found an old design and used the same colours as a roundel with the front hub as the origin. http://i.imgur.com/Axs6zT0.jpg
