Custom colours....... thoughts?

(1/4) > >>

Bfellows:
I'm contemplating whether to have my Vector Mark 2 painted in a pearlescent white, rather than a flat OG colour (must be the freestyle builder in me?)  Any thoughts?  Similarly I'm planning on having another freestyle frame and forks finished in "non standard" colours cause I quite like them.  Nothing spectacular, but not exactly original finish...... more new school looking at a push on an old school bike.

Has the sun got to me and I'm being a complete nobber again, or has Clint beat me to this a hundred times already....... Pictures anyone?

Go for it, Unless the original finish is mint. If it needs painting then do what you want. Can always be stripped and painted flat white in the future.
Did bikes not get custom paint jobs BITD.

BMX1973:
I think its OK.

B.I.T.D we used to pop to Halfords and buy unusual rattle can colours to make our bikes look different and spruce them up.


One of my mates borrowed his Mums lipstick to colour match. Then got a paint shop to paint his bike the same colour  8)

Mat:
Yeah we used to wrap our bikes wi electricians tape bitd

Kustom kolours is kool !

Funkyworm:
No worries here either,

Custom colours if done well can look amazing if partnered with the right custom decals & parts.

My only issue is when it's not done well or when the customisation is taken a little too far.

 I've seen some horrendous custom colour combinations in the last 18 months & weirdly by (repeat offenders) who seem to chuck 2 or 3 colours together & hope for the best but to my taste it hasn't worked well on their builds..

Each to their own though mate & beauty is in the eye of the beholder (n all that)  ! I know whatever you do it will come out well. I guess though its an expensive game if you get it wrong & have to re strip & Paint a couple of times..  :daumenhoch:
