It’s getting HOT in here ….

How about painting my frame half and half. One side yellow and one green. With contrast decals of the opposing colour ?

I remember seeing one (a Kona, but not a Hot) a few years back that had different colours and different years on each side. Can't remember the colours, but one side I think was the '93/94 square font decals and the other was the earlier '91/92 'K' decals. Nice idea and well executed, if a little 'out there'!

This thread also has some interesting colour schemes for inspiration, including this beauty, a fairly simple scheme that could be easily re-interpreted in other colours?

How on earth did people decide what to have when they were new? It’s impossible when they wear most colours so well

The many coloured one is an absolute beaut.

I’m swaying more towards bright colours and something a bit unique or at least including flames

I’ve so many builds with Judys that illl likely go another route on this one. And don’t get me started on how much I hate Maguras


Does anyone have any good quality pics of the yellow and green flame paint ?

I could forward you some of the images of mine that @Ernie sent me when he sold it to me a couple of years back if it would help with the finer details?

Yes any pics will help me decide but also help if I do go with the scheme in the end.

I’m swaying towards a green/yellow half and half though but tomorrow is a new day

One of the nicest bike colours I have seen in a while is tootyreds' team marin in purple

These were mine a little while back. Needed to sell one to justify the other. Should've waited a while as the market was a bit cooler then!

Are they both original paint?

As they are different aren’t they. Which is a good thing as it gives me scope to replicate it.
