Custom paintshop- or is this a new colour?

Otherwise very sick 9/10

Custom bro had it sand blasted and then powder coated NATO GREEN then ordered a matt orange decal kit.

8/10 for the Tranny TR500, always liked those frames, but I see enough green at work.......

Here is my Morewood Makulu, which due to me having a busted wrist, is slowly receiving a make over.

Stripped and polished ten clear coated the frame. Ordered some Spank Spoon wheels for a 27.5" conversion, Dorado's going in for a full service in the next few weeks for a factory tune and new brakes coming (currently on Shimano SLX's which have worked OK until I broke myself racing BMX). Also have a mate making some repro Morewood stickers for the updated colour scheme.

Pic of the painted frame (ghetto rattle canned job) is mocked up with a mates E13 27.5" wheels.

27.5 mock up....I like it.

8/10 for the makulu, I have always liked it very much. Would be killer with fluo orange sticker. Nice work indeed.
Here's my wilson although now it has different stem, bar and rear rim. I run air front and rear and having ridden coil until now I can say I love air suspensions.

Anything to make a Wilson more playful. I rode the last 26" version and was blown away by how planted and stable it was; also blown away by how hard it was to get that thing airborne. The guy who owned it was like "If you can hit all the jumps on this thing you would have to be haulin ass. Makes you go faster"

Very cool- sadly I had to sell my raw banana because it was too small- but was lots of fun

Devinci gets a 9/10- always likes those frames.

I have to admit that it tends to soak up every jump. You could try to run a little less dampening

spank 33s would look really good on there! green rims or black with green writing? I just built a set of the bearclaw stealth 33s and am pretty happy with them

bike looks great as it is, be careful not to ruin it! i'd say black spokes, black rims with subtle green decals and green hubs would be far classier!

bike gets a 9/10 from me in its current guise, love the operator!

That Kona is mint (no pun intended)

I'd echo Bobj and say don't over do it. Made that mistake myself before and had to dial it back a bit.

Exactly as the last two stated, it's looks awesome as in and too much green will kill it. The spank 33s with green decals would set it off perfectly though.
I had a darkside and went too far with blue accents :wheels, crank, bars etc. And it ended up being too much
