Title: Paint poll...informal...
Post by WD on 04/11/05 at 01:01:04

The bike is ready for a new coat of paint. It is staying orange. Shade/type not chosen yet.

Color choices for tins are : Nissan Orange Mist Iridescent (pearl/microflake blend), Orange base with copper flakes, or Kubota tractor Orange (what it has now).

Color choices for frame are: metallic black, gloss black, hammered black, hammered bronze.

Wheel centers, spoke nipples, and jug are staying Chevrolet red-orange, hubs and spokes black (too hard to repaint).

Just curious to see what combos you guys choose. I normally paint bikes rattlecan flat black, but, since this is the first vehicle I ever bought new... whether it stays mine or goes with the stepson, a decent color coat is in order.

Stepson is undecided as to the color scheme, wife likes the Nissan color, I don't care as long as it's orange. So vote! Please...

Orange/copper with metallic black frame.  The orange I would use is Chevrolet Hugger Orange.

Kubota orange and Rustoleum gloss black.  Both available in rattle cans and the tractor paint is actually pretty good (you probably already know this).

Not to mention that with the plain gloss black / Kubota orange any future touch-ups will be far easier.

Kubota orange with gloss black frame, it's a classic color scheme.
