Show off your custom paint jobs.

I've a steel framed Kona Unit singlespeed which could do with a spot of TLC and as suchI'm considering having it resprayed by the paint shop at work.

In my mind I see it looking resplendent in Typhoon grey with a selection of subtle military style graphics.

I think it would work as long as I don't go overboard on the graphics although given my username could look cheesier than a cheese shop in Cheddar.

So to help me, and have a general perve at other bikes I'd like to see your custom paint jobbies

a bike equivilent of the new morgan three wheeler then? sounds quite cool, you could either replicate the typhoon markings with 3 squadron details etc or go camo, replicate the lancaster markings with a smaller version of the graphic on the nose cone, i think its still the "phantom of the ruhr" that would look quite cool.

I guess it would be

The grey colour it actually quite nice on it's own, even if I left the 'cabbagey' decals off and for the price the lads will do it for certainly worth a punt.

Camo would be an idea but the bike came olive green from the factory so I fancy a bit of a change

I'm in the midst of going olive green on an old raleigh frame for a pub beater at the moment.
Like the idea of WW2 style graphics but old style frames seem too thin for the right look.

Nice colour

Although for me personally I'd still like OEM style graphics on a bike.

I'm currently loving the Fiat 500 range of colours, if I don't create a supersonic singlespeed that may be a route I'll go down.

Fair one!

Cammo is brave but could be done, I think!

Yeah, I kept the HT debadged because I enjoy riding past bike geeks and them squinting at it wondering what it is

Looking again I rather like your saddle, is it a DMR?
