Do you want to go original with the paint? I can help you there.

Pink sparkles are actually not that far off the mark. There's a purple-tinted clear coat with flecks in it. Check out the pic: How's your progress with the decals?

How are you painting it?

Not yet. Still refining it with a high-resolution printer. It's not exactly an urgent project! BTW: You'll need to be able to print white to get right.

Thanks for helping, Kult Friction. May your barn always be full of awesome bikes! I've never seen a Mountec before and thought the graphics were pretty cool. I hadn't noticed the fork was on backwards! Thank you, Andre.

Re: Re: Yes!!!! I've seen your Axis. Have all the pics downloaded three years ago. I wish I could see it up close and personal! I'd like to copy those decals too in order to re-create the bike. I'd especially like to get a magnified look at the paint job! The Axis Team has a similar marble...

Hi, I've managed to reproduce the decals from the Ascent EX, as mentioned last week viewtopic.php?f=1&t=295828 and today I finished the Axis Team! I've got an Apex frame that I'm going to do next. Does anyone have an Axis that I can have a look at, or buy? Best, Andre.
