What would you do?
I recently bought a wicked and powdercoated it Candy Apple Red....don't ask why. I just did.
what color stickers would you apply? Black, Yellow, or white? the red is a bit towards the orange side in the light I have black and I have yellow in the shop, and I would have to purchase white thank you in advance for those who care to respond... |

My first thought was white....but then I read that you already had the other two. Honestly, I think they'd all look good.

Yellow and red always reminds me of McDonalds, so I tend to steer clear of that color combination. The white would look really clean and classic though.

Yellow and orangish red would look great. White would be my second choice.

Black would look pretty sweet--and you've got 'em to try.

I always thought the Wicked decals would look cool with a 3-D effect White lettering w/black. Not original but different.

That paint looks amazing.
I have some silver outlined black ones - Gil makes them - I think they'd look good on the red. |

I went with basic black...
it has that understated stealth look I will post pix when I get it completed... the whole decal application thing is nerve wracking every time... you get one shot to make sure they are straight and bubble free |

Colker thanks
Not a yo fork, but a Igleheart Fork made with the proper wicked rake... I bought it from RMP on this forum... I hope my build will do it justice, I have a couple of NOS derailleurs from Rumphy on the site too... |

Reminds me of one of my favorite Yo Eddy's to pass through my stable (also painted candy apple red); stuck around for more than a few years. Was only able to find a couple pics, in a more of a commuting, with light trail, configuration (could on find two random pics of it):
