Mathieu describes the start of the process; "Despite my initial excitement with playing with candy colours on different bases, however, I quickly agreed with Matt that the Motul solid red was the best one. And combining that with a pearl black for the rear of the bike created the story of marrying two distinct companies, with contrasting colours, but complementary effects."
"Like with anything, preparation is where most of the work is. So before the first white base-coat could be laid, the frame was stripped of its factory Kinesis green, back to bare metal, before primer and a final sand to a smooth surface."
"Then for the colour: red usually covers well, but I didn’t want to take any chances, so I added a white base underneath to make sure the red was bright enough."
