Title: Landing Gear - Colour Scheme Opinions please
Post by: brass monkey! on June 21, 2007, 04:04 PM
Okay,

I have a nice minty Ball Burnished PK Ripper Loopy.  :angel:

...and a pair of stripped LG's, ......so, what colour should i do em ???

I was thinking Chrome, but there again would they be better powder coated ? I'm thinking Dark SE Blue, with baby blue decals, and baby blue decals on the frame ? SHould I go Chrome or Dark Blue ?? Or another colour ? All the components I have are blue, inc. Blue Shineside Ukai's, Blue Kashi, Blue MX1000's etc...... :)

Suggestions please... Chrome, D.Blue, or something else ???

id have em chrome i reckon, that way theyd be more desirable on their own if you ever decide to sell!!
Im doing a polished looptail too with blue components, i have chrome LG's to go on, but for fun im putting a pair of alloy tange forks on that im having anodised blue!

... dark blue.... reminds me of an old Shiners ad posted on here.
Much more oldschool feeling in dark blue than in chrome IMHO.

I ended up getting my ones done black. Not sure it looks right really but was able to get black done cheap should look nice with blue stickers on the forks (if I ever get round to it) . I would have liked them chromed but they were very rusty and needed a nice thick coat to cover all the pitting.

Does anyone know what colours were available when they were new ?  Chrome and White were colours I saw a lot.
