Which Klein colourscheme? Contains Bike P*rn
Discussion
I've picked up an old Klein Quantum Pro frameset as a new project.
The plan is to go for a respray as the current paint is fairly knackered (18-24 month waiting list )
The Klein paintjobs are stunning, only problem is I can't decide which one to go for.
In case you're not familiar with the schemes, here's my shortlist:
Moonrise
Gator
Coral Reef
So, which would you go for?

Have you enquires as to how much a decent paint job is going to cost?
As that will no doubt be a multi coat finishes that will need to be perfect to look good.
My local painter charges around £200 for a one colour and painted decal finish with a top quality level of finish, he re did some bits (Colour blends) on my Master and it's amazing.
There are two well-regarded specialists for Klein paint and repairs - both are in the region of £500 for strip, prep and repaint in linear fades.As that will no doubt be a multi coat finishes that will need to be perfect to look good.

Specials such as Nightstorm would be extra.
Unfortunately the paints used on the original Kleins are no longer available, so it's hard to get a close match.
They are also hard to do well, so I wouldn't trust any old paint shop to do it.

Mmm, I had a 92 Clockwork exactly like that one.
There's another guy in Germany or Poland who paints them as well. He's got videos on YT showing how and they're impressive. Seen him speaking/arguing with Jonrock on RB a while back.
Sounds like ETOE - he's the other person who quoted for the respray.There's another guy in Germany or Poland who paints them as well. He's got videos on YT showing how and they're impressive. Seen him speaking/arguing with Jonrock on RB a while back.
