Hey Lisa, you don't want hardware store paint, you want car paint.

Nope, I want house paint color. I detest the colors of most car paint. And I helped DH choose car paint colors for his bike last year.
My bike will be powdercoated, and they can match any color I send a sample of. I have been told that they will match any house paint color chip I send pretty closely.
Elk- I was excited. Now I'm still excited, but mostly nervous.
I'll be extremely nervous until I open the box and see it. When I see it, at first I'll be shocked because it's not exactly as I pictured it in my mind. Then I'll adjust to how it looks and likely find it just beautiful.
Then I'll ride it and at first it will feel strange and all wrong (because it won't be at all like my one bike I've been riding for a year now) Then I'll get used to it and marvel at how wonderful it is. Then I'll hopefully be completely happy and excited again.I've been through this routine quite a few times with banjos, mandolins, and dulcimers.
(Hmmmm...do ya think I maybe over analyze things?)
Now I'm thinking beeswax color with a couple of tiny bees on it. And black components. Maybe sky blue or blood red bar tape.....
