Default custom paint job

I've been thinking of a custom paint job for my bike. in the next couple of days over the weekend I will come up with a few ideas and maybe some of you guys/girls can give me some input on some designs that i come up with. I'll post-em on monday and see what you all think.



In the meaan time I am open to any suggestions, color schemes or what not...

I actually think your bike is already sweet!! If anything, I would add a ghost design to the bike. I love ghost designs, because it doesn't take away from the main color of the bike.

Your bike looks sweet the way it is. I agree with Remo, do something subtle that won't take away from the color of the bike.

actually i was thinking of a flame ghost design in a pearl color origionally. i probably won't paint it for a while. i really like the green flake color myself. Im just trying to think of a way to make my bike look different from anyone else's.

i agree with everyone else. your bike does look every nice the way it is. ghost flames of skulls are done. everyone has them. no matter if there pearl coat or ghost pattern. it's hard to think of something new that someone doesn't already have. a friend of mine wanted graffix on his bike, so what i did was take a dig. picture of his bike print it out and make on outline of it. then i drew up about 6 or 7 differnt patterns for him. cause trying to picture it in your head and not putting it on paper is alittle hard. well i mean not hard but if you want to mental changes and forgot how it looked the first time it could get frustrating. i mean just a thought. but luck.

Hey onewheel, very nice flames. saw that pic before, it might have helped me want to custom my bike. dont worry i wont steal the idea, its been done. want something origional.

and Im on the same page with you too M K. like i said i probably wont paint it for a while. i like the green and it matches my trruck to the tee. just looking for an alternative for down the road when I get tired of the same old thing. I have taken a pic of it and have done what you said about drawing up different designs. but so far nothing has caught my fancy. looks like i could be updating this thread for a long time to come.

well, back to the drawing board and on to work.
