took my bike apart and plan to paint it.

any color suggestions? mostly black parts...

go to wal-mart and look at the spray paint aisle. keeping your eyes closed, spin a few times and grab 2-3 cans

pain it in a dark olive tone with only black parts!

I've had a dark green bike in the past. I want to not do the same thing again.

I just looked through the entire "post your shitty paint jobs" thread to see if I could get some inspiration.

I may do another camo job but with different colors or something.

Not doing the frame one solid color would be cool but I don't know what..

The bars/stem/fork/front wheel are all black so painting the headtube/front of the frame black (and the rest of the frame whatever) might look neat oh.
I want to do a splatter paint job--it's all the rage these days with the kids.

I rode for the first time in about 3 weeks yesterday, Exeter flowerpots in probably the best park I've ever ridden.

Put a new (used) front end on the race bike, Odyssey R32 fork and Sunday stem.

On Friday we did another King install, this time on my new 29er. Well the tech guys at work did most of it and I just showed up near the end. :D

Rode proper trails for the first time in years. Got through a medium sized line without too much trouble. So fun, wish I had a spot.

Let my brother borrow my bike. The crank bolt from my flys worked its way free and is now lost forever. I think this means I can get profiles now.

Put the Sandbars back on and gave it a quick tune-up. Spoke tension was out of control, chain was sloppy and my tires were somehow at 25psi. I took my brakes off, too, for extra street cred.

I've painted the frame about six times in the last week. Wasn't happy with any of them but got tired and put it back together looking like this.

Bummer! But maybe now you can upgrade to a Ti bolt now?

mychaylo -

Frame is a Diamond Back "bmx" frame from 2010.

I'd love it forever but the BB is way too high for my liking.
