[cole]

[Big A]

Nice damn bike.

e-mail me a shot, I'll take a stab at it: andrew@threeringcircus.ca

[cole]

better

[saltflataddict]

No photoshop here, but Dman thats nice!!!

[Jeem]

So that's the new one. Nice, looks like equal parts cafe-bobber-chopper. COOL! Can I still get a hand job if I don't submit anything?

[Stevie G]

Dou you have one with better resolution?
Kind of grainey

[Anderson]

You need the address to send the shirt to or what?

Quick and dirty. I like the frame silver...

[Fat Hack]

I like my bikes pretty much all one color...smooth & simple.

I messed with a goldish/copper hue, but I like a strong electric green shade...both are getting overdone these days, but aside from mirror gloss black, I think it looks best on a bike this smooth.

Add your badge and exhaust to it and RULE 'em all! http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif

[MichaelDorman]

Something simple to match the swingarm and grips on it now. I'll do some more later when I'm not at work http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

[TV]

Cole, I don't do photoshop work, but the sceam that is shown only with ten foot deep black and white with a deep red pin stripe separating the two colors and some old style striping in the red on the back edge of the rear finder. Now that would be cool.--TV http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif

[Evel]

How about Silver with "Salinas Blue TM" Blue or Bare Metal with "Salinas Blue TM" ?? W / White Pinstripe

I'll trade the shirt for some carbs http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

[Drewfus]

Think Gloss black with a gold edge striping.......

Pure and discrete.

Sure it's been done before, but that bike doesn't need a gimmick paintjob for attention.

Class is class. K.I.S.S.

Cheers,

Drewfus http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif

[SamIyam]

Paint it light silver with a lot of metallic... and it'll be a winner.

Put the T-shirt in the mail and you can owe me the hand job...

Sam.

[daign]

holy shit I think everyone else had the exact same idea haha.

[Paul]

[bradberry00]

ive always been a fan of the deep maroon/copper combo.....with a simple black frame.....

[Stevie G]

Had to load the pic to my site to get it up here.
Classic Harley colors. variation on a classic theme.

[Stevie G]

Whoa!!!
The file is only 437 KB really.
I forgot I changed the resolution to play with it.

That's better.

[Psycho78]

Here's a quick one.
Who's performing the handjob? If it's a dude, I'll take the shirt and Evel can have the handjob. That's right up his alley. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif.

[Psycho78]

God Damn!! Mention handjob and 50 people post @ the same time. Remind me to mention that when I post for wanted parts in the classified board.

[Church]

Wow! I can't believe how many people are hurtin' for a handy! I say gold leave all of it then burry it in clear. And don't forget to rid any metal shards from your hand before coming over.

[bradberry00]

or say screw bright colors and pay homage to the old WWII bikes, turned bobbers, in the 40's and paint it a metallic olive "drab"

[MetalFlaked60]

heres mine

[Alford]

.

[FRITZ]

COLE!
Copper & Cream 2 tone. break the paint line on the frame and not just the tin.
FRITZ

[Paul]

I'll use the shirt and give myself the handjob http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif

[mr57]

I can't photoshop, but 55 Chevy colors - Gunmetal grey and Salmon pink in the pattern Link put up here.

[30tudor]

No paint, not one drop. And loose all the shine. Natural brushed aluminum and steel. And the seat covered with the skin of an animal.

[hatch]

Just leave it alone....well...maybe ditch the EVO and stick in a pan http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif.....But seriously folks...how about a huge picture to photoshop?...I've got an idea, but need some more pixels to work with....hatch

[flatheadpete]

30 Tudor took my suggestion. If it ain't broke,don't fix it. Now what it really needs is a theme. How about the 'Rolling steel steed tribute to the all American giraffe enthusiast' bike. Then I guess giraffe print would be my suggestion. I wear a size large t-shirt. Thank you-come again.

[4t64rd]

I'll just take the money for the handjob and do it myself...

[BLAKE]

I agree with the copper/bronze and ivory... copper/bronze base with simple ivory panel with single scallop on tank sides, narrow ivory panel on tank top and fender.

Tough to do with this pic, but here's a try...

[JasonK]

Here is what I came up with! *ha*

[choprods]

Cole- I cain't do fancy computer painting.....
Forget two tones.....Just paint it a silverish/beige mix-pearl and then your badge is the second color....PAINT THE RIMS THE SAME COLOR
two color/SCHEME equals CIRCUS WAGON GRAPHICS. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

[Fat Hack]

Here's a classic 'two tone' done by painting the frame & sheetmetal in contrasting colors...in this case, crimson and gold!!!

[The Harpoon]

Chrome frame/sheetmetal. Candy Gold, or any color candy for that matter over the sheetmetal. Thick and thin mod racing stripes start at tank-extend to end of fender(stripes stay chrome).

[SamIyam]

Somebody photoshop the tractor in the back ground...

Sam.

[The Harpoon]

Here you go Sam

[Zeke]

And here I thought the bike needed some john deere green

[bigron]

BLACK...........PAINT IT BLACK

[Big A]

keepin' it simple...

Char-Cole gray flake, simple pearl scallops and dove gray pinstripe.

http://www.threeringcircus.ca/BigA/Cole_skoot.JPG

All that bike really needs is the right accessory (and I kinda doubt that'll be a problem) http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

[JRussell]

black grey & white!

[Tony Bones]

Cole, I don't want the handjob...right up front about that one.

But hell man, you're a metal working genius. Why not leave anything you hand hammered bare and polished? Have the frame powdercoated semi-gloss gray and let your metal work do the talking.

I wish I could PhotoShop this for you, but I'm a tard http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

[Cheater Casey]

Do something different.......nickel plate everything. Clean and simple!

[RF]

Be a man...paint it Pink!

[Fat Hack]

Pink would RULE...I'd do it...but I'm in Michigan, so take it as you will! http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif

(Seriously...I'd ride a pink bike! http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif)

[Scott B]

Just turn it over to Harpoon....

[2tall2beahotrodder]

Darkish candy blue, with black tank and fender.. with ghost logo in dark blue

[2tall2beahotrodder]

Gloss black frame with possibly simple white pinstriping..

Black tank with white insert..

I tried to throw in your logo, but it just ruined the look..



Nothings more simple than white with black..

[Empire32]

Ivory, with "honey" color form on tank outlined with dark copper pinstripes. Maybe some other copper lines on the other parts...

http://mapage.noos.fr/kittykat/temp/cole01.jpg

[2tall2beahotrodder]

Im hungry for purple...

[2tall2beahotrodder]

1 more after this shitty attempt..

[2tall2beahotrodder]

green looks classicy

[41ChevyTrucker]

[gears-n-grease]

I always heard GREEN is a bad luck color on a motorcyle

havnt seen a green bike in a long time... Be different, even if its a un lucky color..


People say 13 is a bad # too.. I wear it every day, and you guys know my luck... : sarcastic tone:

[Slag Kustom]

paint it 1993 volvo gold with pin stripe flames looks killer
i sold this bike to some yuppie fuk and he wrecked it a week later

[Jkustom]

The sides of the tanks and fender A blue kinda like your 54 and the tops an ivory(ish) color, but Im not sure about the pinstripe between the two colors lighter blue, black.... maybe none???

Is that the bike you were working on when I was there just after paso? -J.

[Spitfire1776]

Personally if the components are aluminum I'd anodize those bitches that would look sweet. Steel components I would go crimson with leading star diamond silver flake under lying the crimson, subtle. I'd photoshop it but I don't have photo shop.

You got some real damn good style when building those two wheel beasts I gotta tell ya.

[Empire32]

no news ?

[gettingreasy]

Silver and orange, the silver would be a nice darker(but not grey)with super micro flake and the orange would be darker but not copper just plain old orange(Flying Merkel color) and deep red striping. DO the frame in the silver with pinstripes down the center of the tubes. The sheet metal would look good with a swooping panel of the silver in the center of the orange tank with the stiping around it. plain but not to plain and best of all it's not black or red. And since no one else wants the hand job I'll fuckin take it, remember it's not gay unless your balls touch.

[hemi]

Early 90's Dodge Intrepid funky bronze/brown/gold three stage with cream swoops and red pinstriping to define the edge...

I like Buford and Harpoons stuff...

[tinyelvis]

Empire32's version has my vote.. i'm really diggin' the cream colorz..

['Flyin' Dutchman']

This is nice... Cus D'amato, or what's that guy's name..? Check the oil bag too.

[james]

That's not a custom. Where are the misile flaps and wheelie bars? No round rod "webs" or fire hydrant carbs? Amatuer! http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif (seriously, the copper/cream looks perfect.)

[Broman]

I was thinking you should do a Gene Windfield inspired fade. I see it going from a deep blue metallic into a cobalt blue metallic then to silver into a light blue(almost white) metallic. Top it of with a Cole Foster emblem that has (deep blue)scallops trailing off the back edge (and matching scallops on the rear fender).

like this - (sorry almost impossible to make a decent scallop in a 72 ppi photo).

[Broman]

Forgot to point out the fade should be applied to the frame in certain areas as well....

And I am already giving myself a handjob looking at the bike - but I will take another thanks. Send t-shirt and cheap stripper handjob ho to: D.Shannon Muscatine Iowa 52761. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

[Broman]

Am I the only one following this thread now?

Cool. I win by default.

Where's my shirt?

Seriously, I'd love to help you out - is anyone close yet?

[thatredcaroutside]

This is something different. I don't think anyone else has ever come up with this before, Have you thought about making it a THEME BIKE.

[gettingreasy]

HMMM, theme bike, you may have something there. But only with a splash of OL' SKOOL!

But seriously, what are you going to do, one of these?
