paint is pretty :-) actually it will match our tandem. I have a nude kestrel and it is ok, but after detailing my bike i kind of like to see is shine a bit.

i'll use a smaller water bottle to offset the weight of paint.

I certainly understand that some people do not like the look of a nude bike. However, if you use 303 protectant on it, the frame will shine as much if not more than paint. For me the advantage of the nude finish isn't about weight savings, it is about durability. A nude finish is much more durable than paint. No more chips, scratches or dings in the clear coat paint. So, a 5 or 10 year old frame still looks new.
