Not bad at all. Don't know if I would have painted the seatpost and handlebars - I like red/black more than red/white - but I guess that's a taste thing.

Now, have you got matching red/white race wheels? And possibly a matching suit to race it with?

That looks great! May I ask how you did it? I was considering painting my Slice matte black this winter as a project.

I once used Arrow Auto Body in Oceanside,NY. Scott is a cyclist and had no problems painting bikes. I would think most auto body places can handle bikes. When it comes to selecting colors, you could use Pantone colors or just say Ferrari Red, BMW blue, etc. Had my GT Vengeance painted, Porsche Red, basic silver and rear was BMW black.

Agree the white bars look a little stark, but I think that's partly a reflection of my poor photography. Not a color many people would go. for Got a set of stock 808's with red/white decals.

As for the painting process, followed the advice on here:

Used acrylic lacquer primer, color & clear coat.
