My bike pjorn

With Spring quickly approaching, at least warm temperatures where I might actually be able to get outside i have been feeling pressure to finish my winter project. Although the black bikes do look nice I thought it would be nice to have something other than black with white and red.

Today I finished painting my bike. It has taken a while but the results are pretty good. This is my first attempt at painting a bicycle. It is a metallic Gold (egyptian gold) with a candy red (diablo red) with pearl white and blue green pearl. I hit the entire bike with gold metal flake suspended in a clear coat which doesnt really show up too well in the photos. Still have to pinstripe with black around the pearl white and add some definition to the tribal pattern with the black pinstriping.

That looks pretty sweet for a do-it-yourself paint job! I’ll be interested to see it built back up.

That looks amazing!

Looks ghetto.

Well…he did do it himself so I’ll have to give him props for that. It’s definitely not as nice as if a ‘professional’ did it but it might look better in person.

What caught my eye was why is there a big bump in the headset? That looks really weird to me.

Nice job, i thought of painting mine.

Your frame reminds me of the movie “Corvette Summer”

Old school graffiti tattoo. Nice!

nice one man…downtown LA meets Bangkok market styly

As soon as I saw your bike, this instantly came to mind.
