Well I think you may still find some creme skyways tuffs around on eBay - dunno about other bits tho. Give it a bash!
-
If you were to do it I would say do it to a vintage 70's BMX ... would give it the "authentic look" ;)
-
it will only look mid school in that awful colour "nono"

Yes, I ordered a custom Trail Boss from SBC in British Racing Green. It looks great.

Obviously that is a modern bike, I wouldn't recommend spray bombing an old classic the same colour, it's just not 80s...

Jim oldtired did a great budget build a few years back, still one of my favourite bikes on Rad

There was a Dirt Bros TA floating about a few years back, can't find any pictures of it now though.

Diamondback did one in that colour a few years back, just a run of the mill cheepo bike.
Maybe metallic green would make I a bit special :daumenhoch:

as others have said though, not sure it would suit anything 80's.
