Best colour for unicycle powdercoating...

mowcius · 2009-08-03, 10:24 AM

I am looking for ideas of what colour to powdercoat a unicycle.
The things that have to stay black are the seat and spokes.
The hub is yellow (anyone had a hub powdercoated before?)

The frame, pedals, cranks, rim and seatpost are all going to be powdercoated...

Anyone got any idea of a colour scheme, any good ideas? But not silver because it costs me extra due to the extra lacquer or something...

Do it in a non-KH blue.

I had thought of blue but decided that it was probably a bit boring... Were you thinking of a lighter or darker than kh blue?

Would you have everything that colour?

Blue rim, cranks, pedals, hub, seatpost and clamp also?

I think i'm currently going towards the people who are saying green or orange.

I'm not sure whether to go with a fluoro green or khaki green if I went with green though... Maybe different camo colours on the pedals, rim, cranks, seatpost, hub, frame etc...

Nobody likes yellow or brown though.

If anyone has any cool colour schemes of their own then post pictures here

ok, one person likes yellow...

it would be helpful if people stated what colour it is if they say 'other'...

Rainbow. Tell the guy working there to just spray randomly from the containers he has left over.

mowcius · 2009-08-03, 06:13 PM

That would be quite cool but I think it would cost me a lot as they just buy masive containers of powder and then fire it at it... It may also not come out very even if they did that... I'll have to ask!

It would be really cool though!

What color do you like? that should be your real question... I dont know why you would want to know what color I want to make your unicycle.

unicycler100 · 2009-08-03, 11:22 PM

I agree. In the end we all post our opinions on colour, youll shoot most down cause you dont like it, and end up going with what you like.

Why people make threads for this is beyond me.

Yellow rocks!

Powdercoat it in a very strange color, like... hmmm... Just make a mix of a couple of colors, like every part a different color. It would be pretty funny.

johnfoss · 2009-08-04, 02:21 AM

What have our opinions got to do with what color you're going to like? I like red. That doesn't mean it's the best color, or that you should want a red unicycle. No color is the best. Even if one color was the best, let's say KH blue, it start being un-best pretty quick because it's the same on all the unicycles.

So my "best" answer is "something not blue".
