Back in my beauty is in the eye of the beholder post I noted that I went to town with a can of Krylon Orange Pumpkin Gloss and coated the new Planet Bike fenders that came on my Globe. I was torn because I think I did too good of a job. It all came out pretty even and I did not attempt to smear or paint erratically like I had done with a former bike.
I had contemplated using some more paint, perhaps purple to make the fenders look even more hideous, however the nice, even paint job also provided a canvas of sorts. During a bit of down time recently I was staring at my bike and an idea came to me. I grabbed a Sharpie and my front fender now is a billboard of sorts. At first I thought the back fender would be better so people could see it while I ride, however I decided the back fender might be better saved for reflective sticky things (f0reshadowing).
Oh yes, I like it.

Not really "f0reshadowing" when you specifically tell us you're doing it. ;P
