Beautiful. How did you paint it? Is that multi-color/pattern powder coat? What paint shop did you go to?

Cheers mate. I'm a spray painter myself
So I just painted it one weekend at work. It's just regular automotive 2pack paint. i put down a black base first, then a blue pearl coat, I then sprayed the harliquen paint (blue to purple to grenn) on the top tube. I then applied the stickers which I had made up by a local sign writer and then finished by clear coating over everything. Normally I would strip a frame back to bare alloy before repainting but with this one being steel, transition put on a really good coating on the steel tubing to prevent rust which I didn't want to disturb. So to prep it for paint I simply sanded it as much as possible trying to take of as much of the original paint as possible but with going through to the bare steel.

I actually made a little vid for my mates of me doing the paint work.
