Litespeed 2001 Palmares: Painted with House of Kolors, candy apple red paint. It was applied directly over the brushed "ti" finish with several coats of clear to give the anodized affect. Candy red was also applied directly over the bare aluminum stem providing close to the same affect. Candy paints are transparent thus picking up the affect of whatever base is used. Candy creates a stunning effect over bare "ti" or carbon fiber, you can still see the carbon weave but it is now tinted to any color you desire.

98’ Bianchi 7005 Aluminum: Painted with Dupont Croma-Base paint using the customers paint design. The yellow stripe represents the Tour and the pink the Giro, still incorporating Bianchi’s traditional celeste green. The decals were made for and applied by Creative Cycle Works and then clear coated. Note the details in the stem and bars were painted celeste to match.

80’s era Trek retro café bike: Painted simple gloss black Croma-Base with the lugs left bare for accents. The lugs were cleared for added protection from the elements
