Show me your.....Funks

Re:

Interesting. I've been trying to collate the various colour schemes that you could have BITD and this one is a new one. I also sent an email to Funk and Daryl got straight back to me and is looking into it 8) 8) 8) 8) .

Do you know which paints (manufacturer/code) were used on the fork as the colour match look very good?

Its one of those Rich Hart paint jobs. I used to have a white/pink marble effect NOS frame also by the same painter
Have no idea on the colour codes. Sorry...

Re:

I noticed that as well, so will keep researching the "official" paint schemes. This is what Daryl has had to say so far;

"Let me talk a little about what I remember. This stuff is approximately 30 years old! The pink your talking about was our most popular color, especially in the UK. At the time we called in Raspberry Pearl. The color we called Twilight (I think) was the inverse or negative of the Klein Top Gun. I had taken a picture of the Klein and the negative (old school) was super cool looking so we painted our bike like that. Fluorescents and neons were also super popular in the early 90's, so we use a lot of those yellows and greens. I believe they were by a company called "House of Colors?"

Hope this helps. I'll keep noodling on this and will probably come up with some other thoughts....."


House of Kolor only make one pink; Hot Pink PCB39, so we might have a match?

I've also sketched what I think could be the "Twilight" but we'll have to wait for Daryl's thoughts. Twilight.webp Colorways.webp

Okay, after a bit of tinkering we now know where the Astral paint scheme came from;

Klein Attitude Dolomite (positive) > Klein Attitude Dolomite (negative) = Funk Astral... funkn1b_th.webp Klein Attitute (negative).webp Klein Attitude (positive).webp
