A paint job like that is called "harlequin."

no it's not, harlequin is like some disease thing... it is a skin disease, is the most severe form of congenital ichthyosis, characterized by a thickening of the keratin layer in fetal human skin. In sufferers of the disease, the skin contains massive, diamond-shaped scales, and tends to have a reddish color to be specific..

I don't care about the skin disease, it doesn't change the fact that the paint job is called "harlequin." I've also heard it called "chameleon paint."

Lebbink1. A harlequin is a character typically in European operas/theater and the like that is comical servant who typically wears bright colors in the diamond pattern as you described. The disease you described is called harlequin ichthyosis after the diamond shaped scales that appear on a fetuses skin. That pattern = a harlequin pattern, thus the name of the disease.
A lot of the time words have multiple meanings/significances. To understand one better, you need to learn the other.

Anyways, sweet paint. A couple years ago I saw and met a dude that painted his Tonic Fab Fall Guy like this. It looked really good in the sun.

i believe this paint is called pearlescent..

You are incorrect, this paint job is not pearlescent. Look things up before you comment.

However if you looked up "pearlescent paint job" before you commented, you would have seen that this is not one. I am done arguing about this.

s-types arent that heavy actualy compared to others like it... and it has a stype back single track front. and k-rads arent that obiese lol. the brake isnt that bad? lol its a light set up in my opinion... there are also lots of light parts on it to like the fox seat drivetrain bars etc. i dont see how 27 is hard for u to believe?
