Color match battery krylon dover white. The paint reacted to the yellow, but I'll get it tomorrow. Krylon fusion is very touchy.

If it's for him. It's all about smiles pure mile. Doesn't matter if you think it's ugly. Or anyone else does. If he loves it. That's all what matters. Just imo

He didn't really want yellow, I suggest it, he actually picked the same tan as my bike. I might go that route. I can't do the battery red because the decals are red.

Black is usually pretty universal.. Then again I've also used high temperature of aluminum anodized paint. And then used HTv paint to go over that to give it more of a metallic rosy look.. (I'm in Florida so everything fades in the sun. The paint seems to hold a pretty well. Plus if I buy purple anodized/other color anodized products like grips or pedals etc.. The paint matches it very well, So it's either easier to get a colored theme going. (Then again I'll get to OCD on it and probably two tone the frame x.x)
But like I said. He will be enjoy writing something that feels more like him than something that doesn't.
If the red sticker is an issue. You can always trace the outline of the sticker on paper. And make a negative stencil... Make the whole thing red with a black section that the sticker can go on.

Necessary-Break5978@reddit

I'm still putting it back together, but ya I'm planning to upgrade him to hydraulic. And getting red.
TopRepulsive4766@reddit
Red of course. It matches the pedals. And you answered another post saying you're getting red hydraulics for him, so it would match those as well.
