You can usually get fluro colors at paint stores or hardware stores (Bunnings, Magnet Mart). As for what color to paint it that's pretty personal (but if you only want it to stand out: orange, pink, yellow and colors along that line would be my choice) and I'd say depends on the rest of your setup so maybe a picture of the bike would help.

If ya want fluro colours there is a little shop in Balgowlah called Brodies Paint Supplies that i know has fluro colours and would be perfect. E.g greens, pinks and yellows. Hope that helps cya

It also depends on your component colors too.

metalic paints always look awesome but you are limited to not many colours, and make sure you use clear coat when your done.

a dude who used to go to my skool painted his bike "pearlence " or carmeleon, changes colour in diffent lights etc. It was pretty bling pretty expensive though
