I managed to crack my drive-train crank and sprocket today on a gnarly six stair. I have been patiently awaiting for something to happen to my bike so I can "frame it" down, sand it, and paint it.

I am torn between five colors. They are all official B5 Audi A4 and S4 colors. The paint is not cheap, so I would like opinions on one color. Once the frame is painted, I plan on building it from the ground up. New handle bars and forks will be painted the same as the frame.

Picture of my bike:
Everything is removed except for the seat post, chain, stem, and forks.


Nogaro Blue Pearl


Pelican Blue Pearl


Hibiscus Red Pearl


Imola Yellow Pearl


Cactus Green Pearl
 
I like either the Nogaro blue, or the Imola yellow. I'm not sure which to pick.
Cool that you're gonna drop a bit of cash for the paint. Do you ride BMX or Mountain Bike?

I ride BMX. My friends recommend Nogaro and Imola as well. They are more vibrant colors and they feel they would look best on a bike. The spray kit is right around $80.00 shipped.

If I paint the frame Nogaro, I will most likely wrap the seat with something similar to the following:
 
when i saw this i thought is this gonna be a harley, crotch rocket, bmx, mountain bike, or a joke about target bikes
i hoped for bmx and got it
i say hibiscus red
not too flashy but not overlooked for being drab or overused like white, chrome and black
i used to bike a lot at a park but got bored because no one wanted to go to minneapolis and ride the streets so i sold my bike and then i started working
been like 5 or 6 years now
i had an old eastern that was like black with teal blue i think
light as fuck and it took a beating can't remember model though
i bent a 25 tooth sprocket 2 times and bent it back and still worked
 
Does it matter? I'm just going to steal your bike regardless. @Fade knows this.
 
Hibiscus red pearl with maybe some gum colored tires
 

Now that I've seen that, I 100% recommend the Nogaro.
The seat wrap looks like it would be really cool and would for sure compliment the Nogaro.

What bike brand do you ride? I've wanted to get into BMX for a bit, but the good brand-name bikes are rather expensive so I'll have to hold out for a bit.
 
Eastern is by far my favorite brand. They make great bikes; light, durable, and very affordable. That is everything that I want because I will shred it apart anyway!

If I were to do Hibiscus Red, I would rock these tires:


I have owned a Haro, Fit, and a Stolen. My favorite bike I have ever owned is my Eastern Shovelhead by far. Can you believe that it is the cheapest bike I have ever owned too?
 

pLEASE DO NOT EVER ROCK ANY TIRES BESIDES ALL BLACK ODDYSSEY OR WHITE WALL ODDYSSEY
also haro's are shit imo
they rust super easy and are normally heavy as shit and in my experience they weren't very solid like easterns were
YO BUT I GOT A QUESTION
have you ever seen a 2hip playboi
 
Haros are very heavy, but they make decent dirt bikes. My buddy has chrome Two Hip bars on his bike. I have never seen a fully built Two Hip.

boy they are so fucking sexy
you gotta see one sometime
 
Cactus Green Pearl is my favorite out of all the colors you have listed. Seems like it would look pretty nice.
 
The red would look sick, but once it's scratched it won't look so hot. The light blue would probably hold up better.
 
Nogaro Blue Pearl looks pretty nicee
