Not a fan of red nor flames, but I likd the actual job. I'd love to see it in all white!!

I should mention that the paint was done by Cutting Edge Illusions and its top notch

Nice work.

That is a sweet paint job.

Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, covered in scars, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming 'hell yeah', what a ride.

Very creative work. Maybe not something I'd choose on my personal bike, but I love the looks of this.

A little off-topic, I like the P5, but I think the stock paint scheme could use improvement. I think Cervelo underestimates how well good design can speak for itself. Most any of their bikes could be painted in nearly any solid color with 1-2 logos, and they would be great. I know, because I have seen some P2s and P3s re-painted this way and, plain and simple, they were knockouts.

I agree, while its not my style, the work looks great.

The cervelo logo designed like the peterbilt's is awesome

Eye catching for sure
Agree with the front Cervelo logo

res, non verba

I'm not fast enough to carry off that much flash, but certainly makes it easy to spot the bike in T1.

I do like your armadillo cycling through the flames. Sticker?

Beautiful! I'm almost afraid to ask, but what's a paint job like this set you back?

 I like the front end a lot actually. It's like a sheet metal look. Not a fan of the flames

This one was a bit more detailed than normal - 2K.

I would say 1200-1500 would be "normal" for a high quality custom paint

With a bike like that, he better be fast.

Great execution, even if the design does nothing for me. That's the great thing about custom paint, only one person has to love it, and I'm sure the customer does. Nice project.

Looks like my old Kestrel Evoke SL which I got rid of

Love the flames. Though I would have liked to see the whole bike done that way.

Not really my thing, but very well done.
What does a paint job like that cost, over $1000 I assume?

Cervelo would sell A TON more P5's if they changed the paint scheme or had an affordable custom paint option.

I am sorry IMHO this is hideous.

----------------------------------------

you can tell that it's a quality paint job, but I personally don't like the design. I think flames are a thing of the past.

The flames on this bike remind me of the guy in my bootcamp who had flame tattoos coming off of his nipples. Still can't take flames seriously.

True.

But I don't think that is Cervelo's no. 1 problem right now. :^)
