Here is a picture of my Skyway T/A....


I'm bored with it and am thinking of repowdering it. What color should I do it? (you can see I'm not afraid of using a non-stock color)
Randy
Spartan Green was not a choice posted so I say leave it.

I used some nifty photoshop trickery to decode your license plate

Randy, and I mean this in the nicest way, you are SUCH a goober!

How ya been? Good, I hope.
Randy
...still got 10 fingers...

Go Green, just think about it.
n2o
I'll give it some thought.

I think red would be cool.
n2o
I don't think the red decal would show up well on a red frame. Same goes with a black frame.

I havent seen to many red ones,,,, that might look good,,,, how about candy red ?? I think these look awesome in white though !!

Auburn green!!

I have always luved the green of a 85 Haro master !!! ....plus might not look bad with black tires & parts.

pk ripped
...or even a seaform green!!
Woody's Hot Rods
Yellow would make those stickers stand out.
n2o
I'll do it seafoam green if you do your next project dayglow orange!
DMG

skyway green! my friend ty had a green skyway ta back in the day. it was the same green as the streetbeat. it's the only ta i have ever seen in that green. he got it dirt cheap because the bike shop owner couldn't get rid of it.

lemon yellow with the blue would scream at'cha.
Mr. Clean
yo Jeff, forget about the color and just sell it to me. LOL. Whatever color you go with I'm sure it will look good, but a TA can only be white!!!!!!! You coming to Murfreesboro next weekend for the ABA nat? I'll be in town stayin with my friend in Smyrna, you ought to try and make it. Later.

Jeff, did you see the loop Floval frame,fork, bars on Ebay?......Your next project.

I voted SE blue.

There's always "left out in the rain for ten years" rusty brown. But I guess you see a lot of old bikes tricked with that finish.
Randy
Jeff is obviously going through some sort of withdrawl since his beloved U of M lost yet another bowl game.

Something must be changed!

Upon looking again, I say paint that car/van/suv, whatever it is, that thing is major level bunk
Spicoli
is that the original paint ?? if so, I'd leave it be...

if not, I gotta agree that yellow would look awesome !!
n2o
It was chrome when I got it years ago, but waas in BAD shape. If I redo it I probably won't use the blue parts this time.

Oh, Randy, I don't have that car anymore so you can mock me/it all you like. BTW, how did MSU do in the bowl games this year? I must have missed theirs.

Actually, the T/A stickers look pretty good on Black - here's my New School DBI from a few yrs back:

If you were to go w/ a red or blue frame you could always have custom decals made for it in any colors you like...rcrscott did most of the custom decals for last years Street Beat contest, he could likely do a set of TA stickers also.
