If you were to do it I would say do it to a vintage 70's BMX ... would give it the "authentic look"  ;)

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...

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:
