Re: the beginning of Demon number 2
i sort of agree, the mtb had stainless parts, so that tends to suggest not painting them, i really like the copper plating options that Tom gave me although i know the effort that went into the finish, his hands were raw after all the polishing etc. the problem with the metal finishes though is that they won't last as long as paint. the mtb still looks good but effectively it only has one layer of paint, the lacquer, this means that there is less protection on the tubing.
with the new bike the head lug isn't stainless, but the frame will need a finish and the issue with lacquer is that it has no primer which means it doesn't stick aswel so is more prone to chipping, and once chipped it'll rust so it does need a finish of some kind.
i'm leaning towards pearl white with black and/or red highlights
