I can't speak to haideli specifically, but most of these guys can spray pretty much any colour. They have paint guns, a large paint collection and scales to make it happen. MAYBE some might not have the capacity to do some of the more exotic stuff like chameleon or marble effects, but for 95% of paint jobs I'm willing to put money down that if you're willing to pay, they can do it. They paint bikes for a ton of real brands, after all. They're subcontractors of subcontractors half the time. The 14 there are the stock ones that are either cheap or included. Ask Eddie when it comes time to order if you want something custom or different, and he'll give you a price.

Good info.  I re-read the first page of the bulk buy thread, and Eddy says they accept Pantone codes for paint.  For anyone that wants the sweet blue color that SC uses, the paint code is PMS 2153c.

I'm a little confused about choosing a color. Are we limited to the 14 color choices Eddie provided? Or are other colors a possibility also? If others are an option.where can I see them.

I was under the impression that the headset and bottom bracket came with the frame. I assume these will be installed already. Is this correct?

Probably won't come with BB as those are crank specific. Should come with headset but you install that as you're installing the fork.

Anyone know when the frame will be ready for Sale/Shipping?

Anyone know how to find out what color orange this is?

Or this baby blue color?

That orange looks like it might be a 'prismatic' color that shifts color depending on the angle. But I haven't seen it in person and that is a guess. The blue would probably be easier to match. It's hard to pin down because it depends on the screen and brightness that it's viewed on, but PMS 636 C looks pretty close to me...

That is pretty close

I am personally in love with Yeti's turquoise, which is RAL 5018. But that baby blue is very nice, like Evil's blue.

I was looking thru another thread and saw a beautiful bike and sent a message and found out its pantone code PMS 021 C. Hopefully he doesn't mind me reposting his picture. He also said that he got a matte finish and he would probably get glossy if he did it again...

Do you have some more information about this ?
Is it a powder that is added to any paint color or a special second coat ?

I work at a Trek dealer

Radioactive orange is not a colour shift colour. Could be the lighting on that frame.

That is a good question.  It was showing up right after I posted but now it's not for me as well. Will try again...

I like that orange a lot. But I wonder if it's a little darker in real life. I might go with that, or maybe a little lighter.

Of course that depends on the cost of painting it. I'm not opposed to just carbon black.

From what I've seen others say, a solid color is around $100.

Since the topic of paint has come up, does anyone know if a matte frame is sprayed with clear coat which will provide some protection and help keep the epoxy from yellowing? Or is it the finish that it comes out of the mold with?
