I have decided to paint my bicycle...do you guys have any idea for the colour combination! Im not a pro at painting and i prefer wrapping it with vinyl?
Like shinny gold or chrome? or maybe sticker bombing?..i even made a photoshop model of it. any ideas are welcomed!The orange color is the real bike and the golden is the edited one...xD |

Unless you're set up to sandblast the frame and bake on new enamel, it's not gonna look good or last.
Vinyl could be interesting, but I foresee wrapping the tubes to be difficult/tedious. Stickers everywhere could be cool, idk. If you do use spray paint, make sure to sand lightly between coats and put on a bunch of sealant/lacquer (again, sand between coats).

i like army green for a bike or yellow, but dont mix coolors!
Before painting remember to use an adhesive primer, then go with coolors (use professional paints) and if u want to protect the coolor there are many special varnish! Just remember that for this kind of works, u need patience and manual skill. If its the first time my tip its to train a bit before painting ur bike
