I was bored. You could use just about any 2 colors. Pretty simple layout. I did black/white and black/red.

I kinda like the look when your rubbing down and go through the layers of paint underneath and it looks like a jaw breaker.Prep it the give it a good coat of yellow, then a good coat of green, then red finaly black. Wet flat through the different colours all over the bike until you get a nice looking mix then clear over the top. Laughing

It might look cool but I rekon there's a 99% chance it'd fuck up......

Using photoshop. Mask off the sections you want to change the color of then play with the hue/saturation/lightness with the "colorize" box checked. You can go through any color. I can do more if you'd like.

So are most aftermarket paint jobs, especially when you're trying to replicate a modern race scheme on an old bike.
