I've always wanted to paint a bike like this

Oh my godness!!! That colour is just gorgeous! I actually love purple color! You should really go for it and do it!! I think a bike painted in that color would look cool, I personally like a purple and black combination.

I wouldn't mess with the original colors, namely Candy red or black. Have a look at this bike. It is traditional and great.



Black looks good. If purple is needed, I'd try changing the color on my own after a year or two of usage.
