Paint / Colour ideas??

[MTNSleder]

Basically what the title says... I was thinking Black With Gold rims would look cool...

I'm not very good with colours, maybe someone knows a better colour scheme IDK??

I currently have the frame sandblasted with primer sitting on it, no pics yet...

Few old picture's here....

Aren't your scrub brakes facing the wrong direction?

No, I just like driving backwards rather than forward...
So what's your paint colour scheme idea???

Sounds legit.

I'm kinda leaning with olive drab.

Maybe freerunner green.

IDK, to me it has an eighties vibe..

I think a brown/gold (metallic that is) combo would be nicer than black/gold

if you don't want metallic colors (because of the need for multiple layers plus clear coats)
I think maybe flat blue(mid to dark'ish)/white might look nice

Thanks Sid Blue / White looks pretty nice, but I'm more of a dark or flashy colours person...
Should of put that in my first post sorry....

↑That light blue gives me the willies and rustles my jimmies.
Darker blues, if any, work best or metallics.

I do like your black with gold wheels scheme. You could reverse it and do gold with black wheels, or maybe some of the copper hammer-tone...

Look, I stole this link off another thread on DIY asking the same question. Thought it was pretty cool...

I got the Black / Gold Idea from this picture I saw... I think it looks pretty cool, but it's also really plain...

Are you gonna go all out on the color once you make your decision, like $$$ or is it going to be the best you can find in a rattle can?

I'm a big fan of metallic greens.... like Bullitt's car...

I was thinking more... hmm Navy blue?

Purple with yellow accents

Gold wheels & accents would work for that one. Black frame.

The scrub brakes are on correctly.

Rattle cans would be nice, but I don't mind spending $$$ if it's a really nice looking colour IDK...

That's what I thought...

Here's a few bare frame picture's...

I like the wooden pads on your scrub brakes. Pine or oak? Have you tried both to see which one has more stopping power?

Pine.. they work pretty good... I didn't want to spend $150 on a mechanical braking system so I made scrub brakes instead..
Besides I'll get to try out lots of different tires

I like scrub brakes. Easy to work on. I may add some wood to mine.

I like Kelly Wood's idea of putting gold accents on the frame, so I guess it's going to be black with gold rim's/accents...

I'm also going to mix up some black paint with gold/silver sparkles kinda of a medium metallic black I guess, for a top coat...

Got a start on it, Put straight black for my first coat (you really can see all of the dent's ), I'll pick some Gold paint in the morning

I used to know a guy into paint.
He used to say that gold was the best!

 

[MTNSleder]

Painted rim's gold... Think they turned out pretty good.

That's GOLD Jerry, GOLD!
