Expert 615   Brisbane |  Subject: My beast needs paintBehold Italian steel in all its glory!!! My trusty stead is looking a little worse for ware and i want to tart it up. Can't afford a new one and I would need counselling to get over my loss if I was to flick her aside. So the next best thing is a two wheel makeover from hell. Suggestions? Pics appreciated for ideas or direction to painters websites. (italianstallion.jpg) Attachments ---------------- italianstallion.jpg (96KB - 17 downloads) |

Champion 6786  Two seat rocket plane | Subject: RE: My beast needs paint [voice=classic bike freak] Man, that is a beautiful, classic frame. I like the paint as-is. those blue rims really, really clash though, ack! The aero bars on that bike just look wrong. it needs soe nice silver Cinelli drops and some MA-40's [/voice] That said, she's your bike do what you will, but I'll bet that by the time you spend enough to get what you like, you could have bought a new frame. I say this as the guy who dropped a lot of time and money on this makeover of an old MTB (igor1_small.jpg) Attachments ---------------- igor1_small.jpg (62KB - 15 downloads) |

Pro 4189 Pittsburgh, my heart is in Glasgow | Subject: RE: My beast needs paint DerekL - 2005-11-09 10:06 PM I thought the title was "My breast needs paint". Oh well. So did I!!! I had to read the title like 6 times till I finally got it. Man I'm repressed. But as an art major...that's a hideous paint job. Pretty bike, bad paint. I'd say go for something SHINY, and easy to find in the mob of bikes at a race. Bianchi has this sweet slick bronze/orangey color that makes me drool every time I see it (then I have to apologize to Ruby because I always pass the bike shop on my ride). Then again, red is always good. |

As for the paint job - what do you call the kind of paint process they put on cars and trucks where the color changes as it goes past you? I think THAT would be cool on a bike! |
