I've ordered the upper, it comes in Primer white and ready to paint. Just drop it at your nearest bike shop for paint, should be a couple hundred, mine was 500 but its the upper. Get some pics of before and after for us!

i haven't got'em yet, don't want to mess with painting it. i think the pyramid lower comes painted in black which would be perfect. the one picture they show of it on their site isn't a very good one though.

swordfish is an unknown quantity at this point
I gave mine a jiffylube paint job. gray with lots of clear coat. doesn't look perfect but if it did it would make me stress about protecting it. it still looks good but if it gets scretched or chipped, I just break out the leftover spraycans of paint and clearcoat. couldn't justify spending all that money.

I have a sharskinz lower I am going to sell soon. It is a close color of red. The bottom has a bunch of scratches from slight drags going in and out of driveways and such. the sides have a few small scratches from the bike falling over. I am going to try to make it naked, so I don't need it.
