Interstellar – Project One ICON premium bike paint scheme

A collision of colour

Transcend earthly limits with Chroma Interstellar Project One ICON paint. This cosmic scheme brings the complex blues and purples of deep space to life with a metallic finish and vibrant holographic logos. Debuting with the launch of the all-new Madone Gen 8, this galactic colourway symbolises a collision of worlds, as Trek’s fastest and lightest road bikes merged to create an all-new ultimate race bike.

Interstellar was the perfect paint scheme to showcase this superbike fusion that’s equal parts Madone and Émonda. Colours from both ends of the spectrum peek through at every angle – ultimately unifying to create an otherworldly masterpiece for the ages.

The process

A member of the Chroma collection, this exceptionally difficult, top-secret painting process took nearly five years of trial and error before perfecting the head-turning chromatic look. For Interstellar, Project One designers took this complex paint process a step further by implementing an all-new logo technique.

Using a transparent decal material, the painters were able to create a dichroic effect – which makes each logo change colour in different lighting. One minute, the logo may appear gold, and the next, blue, purple or even green. Interstellar is the only paint in the ICON series with this dynamic, colour-shifting capability.
