suggestion.
I'm toying with the idea of havng my old Orange resprayed.
I would normally leave it as the very worn old matt black stonechip is
starting to rust through nicely and in a way the distressed look rather
suits it.
On the other hand, the prospect of having it painted a truly revolting
colour is tempting. It's got to be good revolting, not bad revolting - i.e.
no flouro colours need apply,
Thoughts....
Andy Chequer, maybe some stickers too

How about a pastel split-pea green/lavender paint mix?

Lime green, passionfruit purple, midnight blue, mid yellow - paint each tube
one colour and move on to the next. Don't argue, just get to it.

Gents / Ladies / Rimmer,
Thanks for all the suggestions. If I had any paints I'd probably have gone
along with Rimmer's suggestion by now. Thank you God.....
Following the Spade's mention of poo, I'm currently thinking of a
hearing-aid beige rear/ metallic dysenterry brown fade, maybe with flames if
I can get em.
and a sticker for the chainstay that says ************titswankarse********.
Then you can all watch it on "The World's Zaniest Chainstays", coming to a
dodgy cable channel near you.
Andy Chequer, had a pus beige mini once.
