If that won I definitely don't want to see what had the worst paint!

Only one submission - won both.
Even bland can be a type of character

It's reminds of both Gulf and Martini paint schemes. I think I like it.

It reminds me of a pair of Sundek swim shorts!

I quite like it. When it looks a bit more used it'll be awesome.

That is possibly one of the worst paint jobs I have ever seen. It's gopping

I quite fancy a pair of those shorts for my hollibobs though, so it's not a total waste.

They're a little pricey but definitely worth it - I've got a couple of pairs that must be ten years old and they're like newMr. Dazzle wrote: ↑Fri May 12, 2023 8:13 am I quite fancy a pair of those shorts for my hollibobs though, so it's not a total waste.

Nice bike, paint is like a bad acid trip.
And lose the silly flight/ground thing. Its a bike, not an aircraft.

I like it, would have gone with pink for the frame not orange though.

I like subtle and understated paintjobs.

It's growing on me although painting the centre stand that colour was an error IMO. It's not a feature to emphasise, more try and hide. In fact, despite the usefulness of such things, for a show bike I would have left it in the workshop.
Ditto, probably, the side stand...just not orange!

I kinda like that. Cute was the first work that came to mind! LOUD was the second!!
