Subject: any artists? Frame came back from powdercoat today. It looks great. The only problem is that it came out a bit darker then I was expecting. Not a big problem...I wanted a dark frame. However I was planning on painting the fork crown, the two lugs on the head tube, the lug on the top of the seat tube, the BB lug and the seat stays black to show them off. Attached is a picture of the head tube, showing the actual color. It is a metalic and shows off well in the sun, just not in the picture. Black would show up on it, but it wouldn't contrast and stand out all that well. Any thoughts for another color to use that would look good? The rims are black, as well as the hubs. The front brake (no rear) and most of the rear spokes will be chrome as will be the headset and the stem and seat post for now. So those are the other colors going on it. I was thinking of possibly using a silver, but I've always had issues spraying silver, especially over a dark color. Thoughts? Edited by vortmax 2006-05-15 2:40 PM
