All of the above comments are greatly appreciated!

I mentioned at the beginning that I bought this frame because I had a particular paint scheme in mind. I enjoy painting bikes and I also wanted to try out the "1-Shot" sign painting enamels for bike painting. I was intrigued by 1-Shot's online color calculator. You enter any of hundreds of Pantone colors into the calculator and it tells you which of the 1-Shot stock colors to mix and in what quantities.

I wanted to use a rather unusual combination of two colors which I though would look great with the chrome lugs and socks. Here are the paints that I mixed to get my two contrasting colors.



Here's a hint: I used much more of the white paint in either of my mixes than the colored ones.
Hint two: White, yellow, and green for one color; white, red, and magenta for the other.
