Pieds on their own are cool. I only like color combo pieds though.. The exception would be the simple combos that don't destroy the pattern such as pinstripe, pastel, and enchi.
The paint surely has some untapped potential. I'm a fan because it just looks cool! I like both, but I would rather work with the pied and make my favorite combos. If I were more ambitious, I would go with the paint gene and make some new cool combos with the super. The single gene combos probably won't appeal to many people.
Good luck, and I expect pics of whichever you decide![]()
