Exoskeleton colour
I've just started welding up an exoskeleton chassis. What colour is the right colour to paint it? I think I should paint everything the same
colour - wishbones, steering rack, pedal box, the whole thing. The choice that wouldn't make it look odd are black and silver. What do you all
think?

vote for black then contrasting colour for wings interior etc good example would be the black/orange 7's with opposite colour wings etc very eye
catching but without looking naff

There will have to be a pair of cycle wings and a fuel tank cover behind the seat (the donor scooter's tank is not lockable but has a lockable
flap. I'll probably have a GRP dash to mount the instruments and switches too. A contrasting GRP colour is possible.

why not do a splatter affect, stand back and throw what ever apint you have at it with a brush. Then when you scratch it putting it together its will
be a doddle to cover up...
