I plan on painting my bike, but I wanted to check with you guys and see what you think. Here is a picture of my bike from the Giant website.

I am thinking about taking my rims/tires off and painting the sidewall of my rim Chevy orange along with painting the bottom part of the fork. Along with that, accent a few smaller parts, and if I get really bored, accent the other parts. Should I do that and paint the bike black or just keep it like that so I don't mess it up? I need your opinion on this, and what you would do.Thanks a lot.-Jesse
