DSC02932.JPGI paint lots of bicycles and the same applies.... I have had some terrible results painting yellow and orange over any undercoat except white. As long as you paint them white first, the colour just pops and looks great.

I had to do a metallic red frame a few months back and didn't have any, so I sprayed the frame silver and then laid on a few real light coats of red and it turned out to be one of the best paint jobs I've done. Customer was very happy.

Base coats are so important to the final result. Thus the black under the Malachite.
