Member Contributer 5thGenJim Posted January 13, 2010 Author Member Contributer Share Posted January 13, 2010 Achmed, Looks like you get all your stuff "sight unseen"? :unsure: you got yourself a wife that does not like you riding a motorcycle. you got a bike in a color you donot like. wassup? :goofy: As for color change, I second the tangarine, with the frame matte black. Or the RC45 scheme Question though is if you want to keep the bike "forever". Because only then would the invested $ make sense (unless you got a free respray somewhere) To a potential buyer, respray will always smell like "crashed". I hear ya, Dutchy... I got the wife about 7 years before I got back into riding - at first she was okay with it, but now it's just an irresposible risk that I shouldn't be taking. And, as for the bike - found a deal that I couldn't pass up... for $2.7K and a little work, I got me one VERY fine motorcycle. I figured I could always change the color if I had to.

Monk Posted August 14, 2010 Share Posted August 14, 2010 I don't believe they're interested in your safety(insur), I think it's the fun time you have without them they don't want. I like the colour you posted...... Did you paint it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Contributer Frogfoot Posted August 14, 2010 Member Contributer Share Posted August 14, 2010 The blue looks good, but i would use the Lapis Blue Matallic that the VTEC model got overseas. Oh yeah, and the wheels should be black, not blue. I'm going to need a moment or two alone with this pic. NICE!!! Even here don't see many in that blue. I see this blue every day I like the silver wheels better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 22, 2010 Share Posted August 22, 2010 Is that a custom paint job, or is that a Chinese body kit? I want that SO BADLY. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest MiddleTBabb Posted August 22, 2010 Share Posted August 22, 2010 Royal Blue is where it's at!!! As a lifelong University of Kentucky fan, you could understand. My 87 just isn't quite blue enough, but not to worry, I'm tooling around with this exact same royal blue in my head! good luck! :cheerleader: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maddog Posted August 23, 2010 Share Posted August 23, 2010 I haven't painted yet. Waiting for money and opportunity. Mebbe next season. I know I'd have a hard time deciding what color to use were I to paint mine. But then I like my yellow one. Why don't you spend some time visiting auto dealerships of all brands, and maybe a color will just say to you "this is the one". Or check out some hot rod and custom shows. Those guys do some awesome paint jobs with unique colors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer Ranger77 Posted August 23, 2010 Member Contributer Share Posted August 23, 2010 Dang. Painting over the factory yellow fairings. You're gonna make some people mad. LOL You could probably sell those fairings and make a good penny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Contributer MisterBill Posted August 23, 2010 Member Contributer Share Posted August 23, 2010 Go with what you like. Just to add more contrast, I would make the wheels a different color. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 27, 2010 Share Posted August 27, 2010 The VFR I picked up had been painted in a metallic, darker red that I think looks really nice. Also, they added a black accent under the windscreen, ontop of the cowl and over the bodywork by the tail-light. I think the black and red has some nice contrast.

hoss8640 Posted August 27, 2010 Share Posted August 27, 2010 What's that sound I hear? Sounds distinctly similar to the rattle of a ball in a can... and it's coming from the DC area... Gunmetal silver would look good... I have an inside source to the "rattle of a ball in a can" industry!! I can hook up about any color from Ballet Slipper Pink to Leather Boots Brown!! I might start thinking about repainting now!! :fing02: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 27, 2010 Share Posted August 27, 2010 I second the orange, but I like more of the copper metallic orange rather than a solid bright orange. I also like the blue but prefer a lighter metallic blue. I worked in autobody for 9 years and always LOVED the look of a satin metallic basecoat. I would love to paint a bike a bright tangerine metallic orange but put a matte clear over it. I have a feeling this love would fade eventually though... Who knows...
