Post by: generallee on October 11, 2006, 05:14 PM

What colour then? Im leaning towards black - I already have a red ripper, yellow ripper, green ripper, brown ripper - and black floval flyer - so what should I do this one?

Steve,
Do what I was gonna do with mine (before I decided the candy blue was too clean to paint over)
Ford Focus ST metallic orange or Kawasaki green (using blue anodised components)
or baby blue to white fade to baby blue (similar to the ET paint)
Just my 2p's worth  :daumenhoch:

Hers two I made earlier:-

some very nice ideas there chaps - im actually tempted to have it done baby blue - if you dont mind dingo? Or I may got for british racing green.... i cant decide! Id love a fade paintjob, but i get my frames done at a powdercoaters and I think they can only do the one colour at a time - theyre a small bunch of old guys in Hove who do basic powdercoating - theyre results are spot on but I think a fade job may be too much for them!

get it done in 2k paint at a spray shop , yer can have anything yer want
yer could get it based in a course silver met then get a couple of candy colours faded , would look real trick
some of the new powder coat finishes are cool to , but paint yer cant beat for choice

I had a look at that website, what a great resource for SE pics. I had no idea there were so many looptail Quads still around.

The SE mountainbike frame was interesting, front end like a PK Ripper and suspension rear end.
Saw a Hutch mountainbike on another site, but it was from their later period - just looked like a generic 10-speed with big tyres.
