Seen 'em, and done 'em.

I sprayed a '84 Olympic Team Murr y (Serotta) blue from the front and red from the rear to take advantage of the "Doppler Shift". And a Paramount tandem with marathon stays all red from the front and white from the rear (I have some pics of this I may scan when we launch the new Rad Finishes website later this month)
