Member Contributer spotthedogg Posted March 4, 2009 Member Contributer Share Posted March 4, 2009 Desperately seeking some help visualizing a couple of ideas I have for paint. I have a silver 2003abs and I want to do a hybrid paint scheme based on the RWB. I am thinking either (starting with a RWB since that's got the lines) change the blue to silver and the wheels to the red from the stripe OR change the blue to silver and the stripes to black and the wheels white. The tank wing should be black on both. Any help would be awesome I have been playing with the sample software with very limited success. Thanks guys!!

Member Contributer spotthedogg Posted March 5, 2009 Author Member Contributer Share Posted March 5, 2009 OK, so this is what I have so far. Not too sure about changing the fender color. I can't change the wheel color!!! Do I have to find a picture of white wheels and cut'n'paste? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer ECX585 Posted March 5, 2009 Member Contributer Share Posted March 5, 2009 I prefer the second version........though neither one especially floats my boat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer TahoeVFR Posted March 5, 2009 Member Contributer Share Posted March 5, 2009 I really like that second one...then again, I'm also a diehard Oakland Raiders fan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SEBSPEED Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 OK, so this is what I have so far. Not too sure about changing the fender color. I can't change the wheel color!!! I like this one quite a bit - except for the front fender. Too much red, but I think it would get lost if you made it all white or silver. How about a color combo on the fender also? Then polish the wheel lips(or paint the lips silver). My 2 cents only, of course. :biggrin: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Contributer YoshiHNS Posted March 6, 2009 Member Contributer Share Posted March 6, 2009 I think the first one would work if you just used a different shade of red. Something a bit more dull than that ruby color. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrmatt Posted March 6, 2009 Share Posted March 6, 2009 Silver w/red wheels.... Here's another vote for the silver/red stripes/white, really brings them out compared to the RWB version. Though I've always been partial to white wheels... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Contributer spotthedogg Posted March 6, 2009 Author Member Contributer Share Posted March 6, 2009 Ouch, that's awesome. dutchinterceptor you are the man! I will be meeting with the painter Sunday and work out some choices. I will post lots of pics when shes back together. Ever since I saw this VFR400 I have been thinking of silver/white/black combos for my 800 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer leanit Posted March 6, 2009 Member Contributer Share Posted March 6, 2009 Here's one you don't see every day. Green and Burgundy 6th gen Try this. Put gold wheels on this scheme. I think this comes closer to the tri-color 1098. Otherwise it would be a great Christmas themed bike. Thanks for all the hard work and all of the color schemes look cool.
