Guest glennl Posted April 29, 2006 Share Posted April 29, 2006 i've been tossing around the idea of adding some matte black to my very red 5th Gen... i ordered white decals to replace the originals... i think that will liven up a little...here's how it is now: border='0' alt='user posted image' /> border='0' alt='user posted image' /> border='0' alt='user posted image' /> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Contributer cpkelly Posted April 29, 2006 Member Contributer Share Posted April 29, 2006 I think it might look better if the upper cowl was matte black to match the rest of the front and the seat cowl was red. Keep that front fender red though for the contrast. Kind of european then...just my opinion though... :beer: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Contributer dutchinterceptor Posted April 29, 2006 Member Contributer Share Posted April 29, 2006 There are several on here that are really good at photo-chopping....unfortunately, I'm not one of them but this took me about 15 minutes to do. It's a lot easier than painting and is easily changed!! Poor photoshop suggestion: border='0' alt='user posted image' /> Glennl.jpg Oh yeah.... As the others said....crash damage.

Member Contributer VolatileVFR Posted April 29, 2006 Member Contributer Share Posted April 29, 2006 I actually really like the Dutch PhotoChop job...looks snazzy..oh yeah, I said SNAZZY.... hehe.. :joystick: But, on a different note, there is definitely a lot of protential for the paint you are using... just photoshop buncheZ of 'em and see which one hits you the right way.... Good Luck.. :beer: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 29, 2006 Share Posted April 29, 2006 I once did a Superhawk in truck bed liner... I did it as a joke because all his plastic was rashed and cracked. After I welded all the plastic together and sanded it, I sprayed goobs of bedliner on it. I hated it but the owner loved it. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I think you just oops'd up your bike. border='0' alt='user posted image' /> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As the others said....crash damage. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Was think'n the same, except,... Keep the seat cowel black, tail red, and increase the amount of red, at the bottom slightly. That way, you get more of a, "stripe", down the bike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
