Marin respray, opinions please.

[teadrinker]

I've recently managed to bag myself a 1992 Eldridge Grade. I'm going to get it resprayed and I'm not sure whether to stick with the current colour scheme or go for something new? Just wondered if you lovely people on here could give me some ideas please

Were 1992 Marins still zolatone? If so I'd stick with the original paint if its not too bad, hard to replicate and hard to get such a good finish again, even powdercoating.

Show us a pic of it as it is now fella

I do like the way it looks, however the rear end is a bit to pink for my taste. It's all packed away at the moment till the weekend but here's the ebay page for it.

Paint it like mine and you would be the first i know who did a flouro and splatter paint respray. That would be pioneer land :!:

I like it as it is boring I know.

I'm all for colour else - shy away from the norm. Yellow, lime green, stumpjumper mango colour, do something different else keep it as it is I'd say

I like it as it is, it's just the pink needs toning down, thinking I might go with black and then red or white at the at the back with coordinating decals. :?

Cor, that was a good price. How did I miss that :? :roll:

The most I would do would be to get the red repainted and get some new decals. Guess the paint must have faded over time as these were a really bright red I think.
