Was thinking of getting my Patriot airbrushed, mates dad is very good was thinking Union Jack on the front triangle similar to the GBR 22x's but faded in with more detail

and the swing arm done like the new Patriots

Then Heli-tape it like crazy

Was thinking of also getting my Dr. Jekyll frame and my fork lowers done in black and yellow like hazard tape in the Peter Saville/Ben Kelly Fac51 Hacienda style or like a 03 Giant Terrago FS1

Anyone else airbrushed a bike, I know helmets and motorbikes are often airbrushed but I haven't seen a mountain bike done before
Mountain: Orange Patriot FR, SubZero & Evo2LE.
Road: Tifosi Race Custom.
Do it all bike: Surly Disc Trucker 700c/29er

    Seems a bit pointless for something that's supposed to be thrown down mountains.

    Naw go for it. Much better than having a punto and 'personalising' it. Before I got the Moment I wanted an Enduro - I was going to strip the frame, powdercoat it white then add little creatures around the largest sections of tubes like the head/down/steerer junction in the style of an artist I can't remember the name of now. The Moment however isn't a painted frame so much harder to strip and the junctions aren't big enough to make a canvas out of

    I was in Thaliand last year, there I was enjoying some authentic green curry from a street stall down a small side road, when what should go past me but one of these. A thai kid pootling past on a few grands worth of GBR Orange! :? :lol:
