This one's a bit of fun really. Cheap-ish frame that was purple with tiny red flecks with knackered paint. Going to be a single freewheel - I'll find the magic ratio hopefully so no chain tensioner. It's flat here in Cambridge.
Etch primed then Montana rattle can acrylic in white, pastel lavender and pastel shrimp(!). With a shock pink accent. Forks painted similarly with pink and lime green splatters with a brush. (Note the masked-off area where the Pepperoni decal should be going).
Some ally bars have been painted white - they might get a splatter treatment too. Maybe the pink ODI grips will be enough...
Decals are arriving next week (and I'm on the lookout for any random stickers in a wanted thread) then on with some 2K clear.
Will update with more pics of parts and wheels - all in the shed so once the paint's done it'll be a quick build. It's gonna be a bit lairy! I must also get the M900 cranks off to be powdercoated (white). Don't worry, they're a bit of a mess - the powdercoat will help their aesthetics.
