When it comes to buying a bike, we’d be lying if we said that appearance doesn’t matter.

Your steed is a big investment (worth every penny of course), so it’s vital it is fit for purpose. However, the perfect match function wise might not always match your style.

Luckily, that little problem can be remedied with a splash of paint.

All you need is a little creativity and you can transform your bike from an average Joe into a real head turner.

To give you a nudge in the right direction, we have gathered together 10 of our favourite custom paint jobs for your perusal.

One of the benefits of being a pro rider is the abundance of amazing gear thrown at you. We certainly wouldn't turn down Ken Block's Specialized Custom 8, espeically with that awesome paint job.

Everything about this paint job screams class. The fierce lightening against the subdued colours have provided a paint job we doubt you'd ever become tired of.

Since the launch of Trek's custom paint facility, Project One, the brand has produced a number of slick designs.

This pop art paint job has a bit of a retro feel to it, but we reckon it works.

This Giant Anthem might just be the star of the show. Although we're a bit sceptical about white tyres. We like to see how white they are after a winter of riding.
