Ok, so i bought myself a used VPfree frame on fleabay, and im looking at repainting it cause im a bike whore like that. Im looking to see if anyone has some sweet suggestions as to what colors/pattern to paint it with. Im a pretty decent painter, but i wouldn't want to use more than 4 colors total simply because im lazy and don't feel like cleaning the damn spray gun that many times. Im fairly sure i want to paint the swingarm linkages a color that really pops out in contrast to the rest of the frame, but i just have not decided yet. Suggestions would be bueno.

Polka dotted: red, white and blue.

Or paint it flannel.

I have always been partial to the simpler paint jobs.

Like two main colors font and rear with a couple inch wide strip between them of another color.

I would pick Red over Black any day.

If it is simple and clean, then it is in my book.

Rhino

Paint it like a chicago bears uniform with a big #34 right on the top tube.

 

[Changleen]

Just white.

 

[PatBranch]

Orange/blue(or green), Red/blue, Silver/red look good. Using complimentry colors will make the bike pop out and look very unique.

 

[rideit]

Brown, fuscia and Lime green.

 

[Wumpus]

I've always liked this fade. Darker blue from the front top and lighter blue looking from the rear/bottom.

My vp-free is so tasty I wish it had In 'N Out logos all over it.

 

[Grizzle]

most of the input is great, some of it is keep it coming though please!

 

[DirtyMike]

Standard Apple green for the main, white for the rear!!!

Powder coat FTW

 

[richcreek]

Do a silver-fade-to-red or orange that would look sweet.

 

[maxyedor]

I second the flanel idea. Or paint it like a colnago road bike.

 

[PatBranch]

Those colors would look so cool! I think you should get some of the parts like crowns, anodized to match.

I thought this was a pretty cool paint job. I tend to get really simple paint jobs though. My Planet X is black with a bit of red in the logo and a red brake booster and red headset. Now to get a red CK hub for it. :love: My Bullit is all black as well.

 

[spacemanspiff06]

get a general lee paint job, and a handel bar mounted horn too.

 

[Grizzle]

a dixie horn? haha, that would be pretty funny. And as funny as it sounds, i doubt i will paint it flannel. Any other suggestions?

 

[OGRipper]

How about the world's first Chia Free?

I really like that orange on the bullit.

 

[wood-dog]

hell, as an powner of a vpfree myself, the only suggestion I have is to slap a pic on here of the finished product.

Flame job....... think white trash, rollerderby, flame job!

My old Bullit, that is such a great color in the sunlight. The metal flake doesn't shine in pictures the way it does in person.

 

[Brunettes]

changed mine from black to white $100 for powdercoat.

Nice rack on that orange one

No not burburry it was my feable attempt to throw a Mike Watt reference into the mix.

I've spent enough time in West Yorkshire to know why Burburry ain' t cool.
