Default Painting My Bicycle!

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

Wrapping the vinyl near the gear wire part is just impossible... I have to remove the frame..to wrap ;(..
