Orange Alu Elite - colour options?

[Carge]

I have, lurking in the cave, an Orange Elite from circa 92 or 93.
It's showing it's age - and has had a spot of welding done on the headtube - so could really do with a dip and spray job. It will get built with the kit from my original BITD Alu O - Pace RC35, Sub130 & chainrings, Syncros and mostly XT.

I have a paint shop on mind - and there's a few colour options I'm considering

Gloss white - simple and effective - but getting more common
Chrome Silver - to replicate the original finish
Chrome/Candy gold - there was a Limited Edition in gold - and I have some gold Pace Sub130 somewhere.
and finally
Chrome/Candy Blue - just as something totally different

Any comments or thoughts from RB land?

Recently there was an aluminium elite with a white/orange fade which looked really good, exactly like a clockworks paint but looked good on the bigger tubing of the alu elite .

Re:

I was thinking single colour only tbh.

There is something a bit sneaky I quite fancy doing if I go with plain white.....

But the Candy Blue is calling my name at the moment

Matte silver might look quite nice .

Re:

I have an Alu O in matte silver already.

How about Candy Orange?

 

[Ollie]

Yeah that's nice !

Re:

This is tempting..... but I'm not sure the decals would show up too well

So I think I'll probably go with.....
