Im considering re-painting this thing....nut im not really sure if i want to. What do you guys think?

I would probably paint it yellow to keep with the red/yellow theme. Grabs your attention, AND makes you hungry!

ya know what they say about yeller, its the universal color of fear.

i'd paint it any color other than yello, as long as its flat black. 8)
 
I vote to change the color, to no color at all. What I love about Worksman bikes is the 'industrial strength' flavor they have. What's more industrial than raw steel? I say strip it and clear it, keep that killer red seat and grips though...

I was just thinking about this, when I came upstairs to see the progress the thread has. I dont have a sandblaster, and i think my wire grinder just doesnt do justice.

I'd either raw it out and go no paint or go flat black with red scallops and white pinstripe. Also a triple tree front end and some flipped cruiser bars and she'd be a sweet looking boardtracker. maybe a home made tank or just a plate to put between the top tubes. Just some ideas to consider.
It will get a tank plate, Triple trees are going on the cycle truck im going...cant afford another set :roll:

What about raw with flat black scallops?

Shoot the crud out of it with a paintball gun then clear coat it.
Too bad I dont have paintballs...I can get in uniform, and tick some of the local kids off, and then they SHOULD shoot me with paintballs...dont know if they moved on to bullets :shock:

I would leave the bike alone and instead paint that fence.
Haha, I agree...Theres alot of graffiti appearing in the city. One kid started, and it turned into a fad. Mr. Bladow my old art teacher even promotes it.

For the record, I love graffiti.... but that's tagging, and I'd paint over it.

You should do the bike up in graffiti style, that'd be cool.
Oh no...I freaking love graffiti!

I dont know the difference between tagging and graffiti, but its all graffiti to me. Im thinking the simple name is the tag. I would paint it though, because its right next to apartments, and people need to look at that all the time.

Im no good at doing graffiti style stuff, but I do have some obey stickers. I can do some sort of twin theme, with my other bike. I wish i had some Banksy Stuff. I forgot the artists name who does Obey Giant.
