Quote: Green on burnt orange? Or are ya gonna change the color?
Not going to do another orange bike. At least not yet. I've had the paint for over 2 years (even designed a web site based on my ideas http://johnbedard.com/design2/ -still going to adapt that to friarsride.com someday). My buddy insists it will still be good since it hasn't been opened since then. This is the paint scheme:
I was going to try and keep it all a secret until it was done but I don't care about that anymore. Originally we planned to have a matte finish but I'm rethinking that since Gene said matte finishes are hard to fix. That's my only regret about going with a candy paint job back in '02 on my current tin, can't fix rock chips.
My current orange tin is going up on the shelf. The tank is in decent shape but the paint on the fenders is trashed. Might keep the orange tank as a museum piece (I still love it) and buy another one, painting it and my original fenders to match. Maybe the original black/silver paint job.
