This paintjob is fantastically trippy, a am pretty sure that its not just because the wheels are turning backwards…

nice.
reminds me of the shop I used to ride for, they were (and are) a Trek / Cannondale dealer and one of the owners had a polished aluminum Cannondale R700 time trial bike with Spinergys. That thing was sweet.
My next custom paint project I think I’ll incorporate chrome paint somehow,
I would still want a polished R700 or R800 too, so beautiful!

I think you can do a lot with chrome vinyl these days like the ceepo but the bare bones aluminium is sublime purism
To be fair: is chrome really “paint?” Or “finish?”
For my money, the trippiest paint job goes to the BMWs of the 80s
.
Might depend on the type of chrome…
Chrome paint…
Chrome vinyl…
Chrome look polished alumiunium…
Chrome electroplating…
Chrome bubba gump shrimp…
Whats that color you see on some bmxs… Its like a chrome thats been heated and turned shades of purple blue and gold? Id like a stripped Klein or cannondale in that finish
That iridescent shit that looks purple one second then gold from even the most imperceptibly different angle? I see that on the little tuners that run around here sometimes
I think that has to do with metal flake in the paint
Kyle Buckingham got a very similar paint scheme on his Dimond Mogul. It looks awesome new, but I’m told that it doesn’t last, especially in that shade.
Looks great in these photos!
If we are gonna sidetrack onto cars…although technically not paint, rather its “sharpie”.
The Chrome look is not new but still cool
.
I found some pictures of nice chrome finish softride tt bikes from the 90s…was that a standard option or custom?

Black Sharpie on a white car, or white Sharpie on a black car?
Speaking of Sharpies immediately reminded me of the bikes graffiti/street artist Futura 2000 did

That looks next level
The one I was thinking of is called neo chrome

Black sharpie, white car. $100 in markers, 22 days of work. Original post over in my “other” racing life:

Gives me something to think about with Inktober coming up

Interesting. My wife is an artist. And my niece is a Sophomore in Art School at USC (virutally this year). Passing this along to them…
Thanks!

Back in the late '80s, there was a custom frame builder (can’t remember who) that offered a finish called “Road Kill”, which was white with red splatters, and real cat hair under the clear coat…

Years ago, I had a polished Cannondale M1000. I think that might have been the last year they offered polished as a stock finish…
