I'm trying to keep the white... I just got into bikes a year ago and I did this paint job my self... any ideas on any other color conversions?

I have my orange beater bike. Ride this in the rain to keep my other bike nice and dry. [Image: DSCN0261.jpg]

edit: rebuilt the bike and painted it myself.

Ahhh nice Schwinn! You too nameused. As far as color combinations, just experiment and let the artist in you flow.

And one other thing PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE move the bike away from the train tracks Sad

Thanks! I was thinking of using orange, and yes the bike has been moved from the train tracks Smile

There is a way to fade one color into another but it takes a little patience. Look on you tube and I think there is many videos there.
