So I got my Bottlerocket frame powder-coated a few months back and the guy who did it coated it the wrong color so he said he would fix it for free. I have to choose the new color by Monday and i'm having trouble picking between two colors. I had the fine PB members of the photoshop thread do it up in the two colors I am thinking of getting it done in so if you have an opinion on which one would look better let me know. Thanks in advance for the help. Here's the colors:

Thanks man. Yeah, it's actually supposed to be a pale orange but I can see how it does look brown.

Thanks Session! I freakin love the thing.

Funny you guys mentioned blue, white and silver because I had them do it up in those colors as well:

Actually I really dig that white! I just think white on any bikes looks really clean and crisp.

Yeah, I will definitely let you guys know.......I wouldn't do that to you after asking for your help, haha.

Green is the leader with most everybody so far it seems and now I am liking it a lot more......

@ Opinion, I do like the white but I think that it needs to have a white fork to complete the look. Kinda like the opposite of murdered out.......I guess that would be resurrected out?

White or Brown. What about a Dark Navy Blue?

I'd say is not about the color..... is about what they make us feel....freedom, alive, hapiness... Yes they look nice on nicer colors but do you really think is about color?

Just get on the bike and appreciate you can walk and ride it.

Just my opinion don't mean to upset anybody.

That's deep.

But I'd say that people can discuss their preferences regarding aesthetics without somebody bloviating about the spiritual meaning of their bike. Do you take note of the color of the clothing you put on in the morning, or do you just appreciate that it keeps you warm when you go outside?

Just my opinion.

Haha I resurrected out could work, but I totally see where you are coming from... I say stick with the green. It's pretty fresh looking.
