Paint scheme

[aff-man]

Well seeing as i am a poor student i will be spraying my bike as i have done in the past...... but i don't think i want the one clour thing. And seeign as i don't have a professional setup i was thinking of this as a paint scheme with the "white bits" actually silver and the blue bits metallic and a bit darker like the mv pic

How have you previously done it?

How have you previously done it?

I don't understand the question. I use a compressor and spray gun in my back yard / garage and such things but usually it's just a one colour sort of deal, You know black or blue r whatever. I am trying to get a bit more crafty and go (although the easy road) 2 colours. :devil2:

wheereess? the flames??????? :oi-grr:

Gonna be doin some painting myself soon. I hear using masking tape helps to make good lines when doing multi colours. You just pain the whole thing one colour, lay on the tape on the areas you want to be that colour then paint it all the second colour. Remove tape. Probably a few more steps in there but not that hard to figure out. Be sure to practice on a spare peice first.

Well I didnt know how you previously had done it, if you have the gear then go nuts.

Not a fan of blue, being color blind makes blue look very purple to me, hence tristans gay bike so purple.

oh, and make up stickers dont put those (sorry) homo painted on ones again, it killed the bike IMO.

[aff-man]

i know the current stickers don't look so hot.

The cunning part is all the silver bits are actually seperate pieces do no masking tape is required :Punk: :Punk:

If you know you can do a good job of it, I say go for it. It will be a one off and should turn a few heads. When a mate repainted mine for me it went from a boring red to gold (all one colour mind) and had a few people asking me about it as it looked modern.

Paint it with blackboard paint, that way you can change the "stickers" every week. Sick of riding a honda, make it a ducati for the day, tomorrow it could be a triumph. :whistle:

first of all my Cbr 600 is no shitty 2-smoke.(no offence (although MC hammer rules)) :rofl: :rofl:

Secondly although the red and white one looks good gav i don't think i'll have the skill (patience and time) to pull it off. :no:

Does anyone have an opinion on what i am probably going to do. Cause it's really easy so i was just wondering what your opinions were on it. Probably be starting in about 2 weeks time :Punk:

Umm how is doing the red one hard? You strip all paint off the fairings then paint them all white. When it's dry you mount them on the bike again mask off the areas where you want to keep them white then take them off and paint them all red. Then pull the masking off and touch up the lines with a bit of pinstiping and your sweet.

Or i just paint seperate fairing pieces... much easier. Meh i think i'm gonna go for my idea. If it turns out crap it won't be any worse than it is :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[justsomeguy]

Mate your initial idea seems the best - I'd go for a slightly darker silver and a nice dark metallic blue like the MV - classy and nice:yes:

[enigma51]

Dont make it such a light color!

[aff-man]

Not going to be if you read the post im going to make it the same colour as the mv :Punk:

But if it's too easy it's not any fun!! You should see what I'm gonna paint my bike like lol. Not too easy but not overly hard.
