What colour is the new 36" Nimbus?
And the first person to answer "Blue" doesn't win any prizes at all! No, what I'm looking for is the exact colour code. I'm guessing it's a standard RAL colour, or possibly BS, or even pantone etc. I've just won a set of Maguars on eBay* that look like they're in need of a lick of paint. So, getting the right colour will not only help them look better, but will leave me with something to repair any scratches to the frame/T7 just in case I drop it in a big way STM * Thanks for the tip off Kington99. That's another one I owe you! -- semach.the.monkey ------------------------------------------------------------------------ semach.the.monkey's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/12078 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/58435 |

What colour is the new 36" Nimbus?
I don't know the "exact" color, but I do know sometimes 'complimentary colors' (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Complementary_color) are a cooler looking option than trying to match everything in one color. On my son's Nimbus 36", we offset the blue by using yellow for both his water bottle holder-frame, and for the zip ties that hold his cyclometer cable. It is a very sharp combination. -- tomblackwood Tailgate at your own risk... ------------------------------------------------------------------------ tomblackwood's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/3762 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/58435 |

I'd agree that accessories can look better in a complementary colour... but touching up a scratch would just highlight it a bit too much! There's going to be a few bits added to the T7 handle anyway, so it won't hurt for one or two bits to be camoflarged. Oh, and Cathwood, have you got the RAL number for your lilac Nimbus? I'm sure that's close enough to the colour of mine STM -- semach.the.monkey ------------------------------------------------------------------------ semach.the.monkey's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/12078 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/58435 |

To match a paint color you probably need the brand and that company's name or reference number for the paint in question. Maybe Roger Davies can help you out, as he may have been the one to spec those unicycles. -- johnfoss John Foss "jfoss" at "unicycling.com" -- www.unicycling.com ----------------------------------------------- "pretty much every trail that we've done on the California or Moab Muni weekends is an XC trail." -- Kris Holm, on XC from a North Shore point of view ------------------------------------------------------------------------ johnfoss's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/832 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/58435 |
