Another what colour thread. Using the RAL chart what colour(s) would you choose? I want to avoid the standard Santa Cruz palet of course.

Pastel Blue - RAL 5024 is my favourite so far.

RAL 1003

black stickers, black finishing kit, no other coloured items, everything black, just the yellow frame.

I may maybe persuaded to allow signal yellow fork lowers but only in extreme circumstances.

I like my 6005 gragae door but I'm not sure how well it would work on a bike.

[defensive]Hora what dont you like about mine?The colour is actually a lot lighter in real life and the pics of it in my kitchen were taken inside with no flash and at night so it doesnt really show it in the best light as it were[/defensive]

I have pics of it in daylight where it looks much better.

I_Ache. It is nice! Don't forget colour is highly subjective 🙂

I went with 6018 Kawasaki green in the end. £25 for the spray with a tad extra for extra lacquering. Is it better than Argos? Ask Binners, one year on and his paintjob is still mint.

Good choice I think I might go for that colour for my next build. Thats the great thing about buying SH you can justify a respray. Im also going to give my Kona to the wife after getting it coated Cadburys purple.

All these colourful bikes are so much better than just boring black and grey ones.

Place in Brum they specialise in motorbikes so I knew it was safe there. Good guys a week turnaround and £35 for stripping degreasing plugging all the pivot points etc and coating. A bargain if you ask me.
