I have a Gambler 710 2015, that i would like to change colour on.
The stock paint scheme is just soo generic, looks like any other mass produced bike.
I think i want a paintjob that shows the lines of the frame, as its actually a nice frame under the fugly paintjob.

Option 1: Keep it stock, i have removed the decals on the rims and added black handlebars/saddle/grips. So its less orange than this pic.

Option 2: Raw the frame. I saw a raw gambler in a bike park and i was amazed, what kind of strange bike is this, crazy linkage! It then realized that it was a normal gambler without paint. Still looks amazing though!

Option 3: A simple colour, dark green, dark red or light blue. Not black, the picture of black bike just shows off the frame well.

All the examples are old frames, but the new one is pretty similar.
So what would you do?

Chrome with big flames would be awesome. But i dont think i can chrome an alloy frame.. ? Razz

Dark purple is noted, The only decals i want is Scott under the downtube.
Maybe Burgundy could be nice Smile

RAW the frame. You can never go wrong with the look of a RAW dh frame. I currently have a white DHR, but planning on raw'ing it by the end of the year

Do you know of any nice plastidip colours?
I'm thinking Flame Red or maybe Panther Pink.. Maybe even 50s Aqua..

Would add something like 200g ontop of a heavy bike, but my original paint is flawless. Too bad to ruin resale value just because i like raw frames.
