Colour my Commencal

[willsy01]

I have recently aquired a 2012 Meta Am frame courtesy of one BigHair (muchos gracias sir). It's in great nic aside from some shoe scuffs and the general wear and tear of a bike that's been used as the offroad cycling gods intended. This rig is going to be a long termer so I figure I may as well customise it a little. Craved Coatings out at Penrith get a good rap and apparently have a pretty huge colour library so I daresay they'll be given the job.

That said, fire some colour suggestions at me. To give an idea of what will be screwed onto it......white 2013 Fox Float fork w/Kashima, Kashima rear shock of some decription, Flow EX wheels, black stem, black Haven bars, silver M785 XT brakes and a primarily Saint 1x10 drivetrain.

So......go forth and colour me.

all white, then a few blue anodised bits to tie in with the fork knobs?

white meta's look good, although i might be biased...

Go chopsticks "purple"........Nothing like a pink bike to rub your surly manliness in everyones face. I did see a pink meta somewhere, actually looked pretty sweet.

Hit it with matt black from a rattle can. Bit of that stuff on a commodore makes it go like stink, would probably work on a commencal.

As above:



Green is awesome too, brights really suit the Meta in my irrelevant opinion:




Matte Black with gloss black decals is always a winner.

Anodized black fo sho! Would be so badass. Otherwise definitely pink/purple as above.

That build will be sick, Saint could be overkill though?

2nd on the matte black! would look really nice with the kashima. Even better if you could paint the fork lowers matte black too - with gold fox sticker kit. Finish it off with gold Bolts/nuts to go with the kashima.

There is a Banshee in the post your AM bike thread, yellow with black decals. Looks schmick as.

 

[0psi]

Matt black. Pain in the arse to keep clean but looks schmick as.

Or you could just go for fuck yea bling and nickel plate it along with you fork lowers.

 

[willsy01]

Matte black is an option yes........i'm also a little taken by the yellow they've used on the 2013 Meta SX

Would you consider colouring the rear triangle different to the body as oposed to one total solid colour?

 

[mitchy_]

i was going to suggest the yellow.. looks shit hot with black forks though.

 

[Knuckles]

Yellow and black for that sweet, sweet perfectly ripe :Banane16: look.

Ditch the white forks unless you're going white, any colour frame with black every thing else is THE look.

Would prefer to keep it the one colour......

Ditch the white forks unless you're going white, any colour frame with black every thing else is THE look.

Problem is that the fork is only about 2 months old.

Oh, forgot, you're not mitchy are you.

Get the lowers colour matched?

I do agree!

 

[Knuckles]

I do agree!

We all agree he's biased...........

 

[lindz1817]

I also have a white commencal so I'm on his side!

Nice frame mate, just wondering though will you be 2 pack painting it or powdercoating?
BTW matte black frame, black or dark rims with bright green cables, seat and grips.
