I am looking to paint my 2009 se pk ripper xlp and i do not know what color i should paint it and i was looking for soem input.

Candy Apple Red is my favorite.

Go to House of Kolor and check out their vast color selection.

I would go with a powder coat honestly. It will cost you around the same as a proper paint job, but will last a whole lot longer. Most powder places charge around 75 bucks for a bike frame. I painted my brother's old standard frame myself and to do a proper job it cost me about 60 when factoring in sand paper, primer, paint, clearcoat and polishing compound.

Totally agree with Brandon, PC is the way to go.

I was just talking color.

There's alot of candy powdercoat colors out now. Get with Just jeff B now here on Vintage and I think he charges like around $80. Or you can go to www.powderhouse.biz and the good part about it is he is a "A Pro" Racer and does lots of BMX stuff.

Go retro and do it milk chocolate brown (and matching cranks)! Then put some gold accents (parts) on it with minor baby blue stuff (Gold stickers blue brakes or blue stickers gold brakes -that kinda thing).

-Trust me.

I'd go with the brown and baby blue too. That's a classic SE colors!
