I've got a 1990 Wicked that I'm planning to get painted once decals are available but I'm having trouble making my mind up about the color(s) and looking for suggestions.
Part of me wants to go with a period correct stock color, but another part of me wants to go with one of the Fat City colors from a different year/model, especially since I was never all that crazy about its original neon orange color. I've always liked the fades on most of the Yo's, but somehow it doesn't seem right to paint a Wicked like a Yo.
I've also considered going for a one-of-a-kind custom job, but the purist in me hesitates. That said, I should probably also note that it has a crazy mix of parts from the 90's (avid, answer, white, sachs, king, xt/xtr and suntour) and it seems unlikely it will ever be fully restored to the stock XC Pro groupo it came with.
Thoughts?
