Tart Patrol, advice needed

Dunk_911

I need your advice, I want to get me enduro frame painted up. I have several ideas;

1) Anodized electric green
2)Bare polished Aluminium with a clear lacquer
3)Painted to look like space with planets, stars and nebulas and stuff
4) Bright pink, after all it is all of the rage...

Any other ideas welcome

Heres the canvas;


Cheers guys

Anodized, but black.

I can't quite imagine number 3, so I vote for that, just to see what it would look like.

Would you be interested in any photoshoppings?

Dunk_911

Number three would look like this but all over the bike



Only if its no trouble matey. I have them all visualised anyway but I guess it could help with the poll.

What about Artex?
It was very popular when I was a kid, just not on bike frames.

A quick search on tinternet reveals artex has significant health risks associated with it. Cheers! Haha. an idea though 3d paint job....

You could tell people it was a frame designed in Braille.

I'll see what I can do.

Id go with the pink mate

Joe_Pineapples

Pink is the new Orange.
(See what I did there?! )

Dunk_911

To be honest Im feeling the pink but a public opinon poll cant hurt.


Haha, braille!

And just because I saw it in black whilst doing the others and though it looked cool, Black/charcoal.

Dunk_911

depends rather on what I have done.

If i get it anodised I will take it to mansfield anodizers
If I get it PCd Pink Ill probably get it done at Derwent enamelers
If I go polished or spaceframe I guess Ill have to do myself or research a bit more.

Have anywhere in mind?

I have a feeling that the space theme won't come out half aswell in real life.

But i'm just guessing

Where are you getting it done??

The spaceframe would be a tricky one. I reckon you'd need to give a few coats of black and dark blue first of all, then get an airbrush and paint the stars and nebulas over it.
Could be cool if you put a few layers of lacquer in between some of the stars, so they had a slightly perceptible depth.

No I had no clue where to get it done, and your thread has spawned a need for a hot pink enduro of my own.

Im pretty sure they would all look good, Its just pink is probably going to be the most fun.

Ano black, or PC'd pink...

Please for the love of God, do not go down the 'nebula' route - its a nice idea, but it wont work, I am a designer, I get paid to advise people on such issues... it really wont work on a frame as you dont have enough proprietery space for it to achieve maximum visual effect.

Go paint a wall or something

Hot pink is the road ahead methinks.... with some repacement decals in white of course (never a bare frame)

allthegearnoidea

you could always go for a relatively nornmal colour and get either a Rainbow flake or sparkle/glitter laquer added to the final coats??
Rainbow flake used to be the nuts in the car scene late 90's, before multi flip paints came in, might look quite good now!! especially is you could get a good airbrush artist to do the space theme for yoU! (glitter flake may look better ont he space theme!)

something like this?? (bottom one)

woodland camo dip!

Dunk_911

oh, oh that glitter looks good, maybe bright pink with a black and gold glitter for stripes?

As the official forum tart, I recommend Green as the answer to your prayers.

I feel dirty for saying this, but I agree with Andy. The green does look good.

Ewwww, now I need another shower
