Guest knucklehead Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 hey everyone, i want to paint my bike but im not sure what paint scheme to go with. i was thinking of painting everything flat black and possibly polishing the frame for now. but i found some lime green pearl paint used for models, (it looks exactly like the color the green goblin is in spiderman.) and now i was thinking about painting the NACA ducts and the fins right above that the lime green color. but im not sure how it will look. so if anyone has some spare time on there hands and could lay this out for me in the totally flat black, the flat black with green fins and ducts, and then maybe the flat black with red fins and ducts. and the decals dont matter to me i will take them off anyway. thanks in advance if anyone does it. have a good day.

Guest Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 Well, the green goblins suit was more of a matte chrome green rather than Lime, and would be a very hard color to photoshop. As is matte black, all matte colors are (though they can be done with enough time). Also a bigger (much bigger) photo would be great. However I will give it a shot.

Member Contributer AvalonRacing Posted June 23, 2008 Member Contributer Share Posted June 23, 2008 How about red with a black NACA and black wheels? Sorry... I will always like the bike with the stock colors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 haha yes i do grant that, it doesnt look half bad just as she sits, not bad for a cool grand if i do say so myself. quick question though, do the wheels have some kind of black metal flake paintjob?? there seems to be on mine, not sure if its factory or my eyes are going bad.

Member Contributer AvalonRacing Posted June 23, 2008 Member Contributer Share Posted June 23, 2008 Well that is the most fun you'll ever have with a grand! I'm not sure of the metal flake. I think that they were just shiny black. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Contributer Rustbucket Posted June 25, 2008 Member Contributer Share Posted June 25, 2008 I'd go with red for the accents, but that's just me. You could probably find a Sarget/Corbin seat in black with red piping to get a little more color. I've personally never liked the look of seats that didn't use black as the primary color... Satin black with red accents would be pretty sweet. Red rim stripes or even powdercoating the rims red could look cool too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kind of minty. Did i find this on my pillow? How's about a Dark tangalo, W/ DARK, Deep charcoal accents, Or almost black evergreen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 i wonder if a satin black bike with gloss black ducts and fins would look good. and instead of the VFR sticker a gloss black VFR over the satin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SEBSPEED Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 You can use a clear vinyl decal to get the gloss black effect too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
