Color choice on a Cielo MTB

[zambenini]

Looks like I am getting my Cielo repaired. What color should I get it painted?

It was a gorgeous creamy white 29er... Then a nice, sparkly pink, now...?

I am thinking like a nice sage-y green, maybe metallic. Might look good with the CK matte bourbon inset7 I have... I also have a turquoise CK i7 headset I can use.... I can also trade the turquoise one for another color. Keeping the bourbon one for a raw ti bike if I don't put it back on the Cielo.

How about this with a peachy pale orange Cielo logo...

[zambenini]

Ooooh, industrial gray navy, I like. If I get wet paint from my usual guy, that'd be an option since he paints logos.

The spare decals I have on hand for it are black, though, so if I use those on this refinish, I'll have to go lighter.

I had in mind something like this; definitely on the warmer end of greens.

That need a silver headset? Or black?


Here's another idea what it might look like... bearing in mind we're talking about a MTB, though.

That green in the fancy lug pic would look great. Here's the paint job I had that I miss the most.

My Sycip was outdated five years before I came into it, but I rode it five years and had a lot of fun before I finally cracked it. One of those Easton elite tubed aluminum ones. Nice purple!

The sagey green is nice, with gold flake in it, and even better with off white decals with gold stroke. Purple is good - reminds me of my old Fat with purple/saphire blue fade.

That green goes w/ silver and there are no more high quality silver parts. It´s all black. Also those lugs go w/ a horiz top tube. imo. ymmv etc

[charliedid]

That green is awesome but I wouldn't personally do it for a mountain bike.

Not that it wouldn't be nice.

Black headset.

[kiwisimon]

bronze blingy bits,
contrast to make them stand out

[huck*this]

How about a deep dark blue metallic with the bourbon bits. Something I haven’t seen and sounds sexy.

[zambenini]

I found Cielo's paint schemes late in the game before they closed the shop... I really like that sage. Mine was originally Oyster with black/silver classic. Man it looked sharp, but didn't last.

This or that......

[zambenini]

There is one on eBay right now in that green. It is so choice.

[azrider]

It is so choice.

I am liking the metallic sky more so than the sage....my $0.02

Where are you getting your Cielo re-finished?

[zambenini]

Where are you getting your Cielo re-finished?Yo! Unfortunately oh, I got it in the hands all the capable frame builder and it requires more extensive / expensive repairs than I'm willing to do right now, so we are going to call it a day. It was his assessment that it was built much too light. I didn't find the paint very durable either and it had already been repainted once. I know a really affordable wet painter who does killer work if you are interested. P.m. me. Otherwise for powder I would have sent it to Ollie. Is his business called dark matter or another one? I can't remember. Anyway, to him.

Shame, it was a great bike! I am not able to put so many eggs in the repair basket right now.
