ok, I dont have photoshop or any similar programme, and would have no idea how to use it, so I am proposing a challenge. attached are some pics of my bike, I would like to know what it would look like without the stripes on the black, and with the pink part colored either red, black, or any other color you think would look good.
any additional creative licence is entirely yours as well.
I am basically wanting to know what it will look like on my bike before forking out cash for something I dont really like.
and yes I have tried google etc, but couldnt really find what I wanted, so I ask for your help!
feel free to use any or all of the pics. I look forward to seeing some ideas on screen, I just cant get a clear picture in my head.

there are some, errr, interesting ones lol. The red is growing on me, im thinking maybe with the turqouise colored strip on the side in red as well it might look good, certainly helping get a picture in my head

Hutchy52 has done a great job there. If you were only considering spending the cash, you'd better start saving!

nice work Hutchy - first one is the one I like - like the honda wing painted curves that match the design curves of the bike

That is very trick work Hutchy! Bling Bling!
I can't afford Photoshop still, but one day I will get it as I am always fiddling with paint jobs on my bikes, except they do not have the expanses of plastic like the above Honda so it is only a weekend job to 'tickle them up' for me. The Honda would look awesome in any of the 3 pictures. My fave would have to be the wing one at the top but done in blood red instead of orange, or 're-sale red' as we call it...:whistle:

tigertim20

6th May 2009, 14:07

yeah theres some real awesome ideas coming through. Dont really know exactly what I want, so its good to see different ideas, I like the look of simple and clean, not too "busy", hutchy has done some great ones there

sil3nt

6th May 2009, 14:23

Decided to give it a proper attempt today. I reckon it adds a couple of grand to your bike :whistle: I figure simply a recolour of what you already have would be much cheaper and easy to do while still making the bike look 10X better.

If you want those stripes changed to a different colour let me know i only have red on my brain at the moment :bleh:

tigertim20

6th May 2009, 14:25

yeah, that was along the lines of my original idea! wanna give the orange a go that hutchy used as well? Im not even remotely artistic so I wouldnt really know what might look good against the black unless I saw it, I just cant picture stuff in my head like that!

sil3nt

6th May 2009, 14:53

wow orange is a difficult colour to work with. This is the best i could do. The top looks ugly and dark because i dont know my way around GIMP as well as i do photoshop (which im too lazy to install). Hutchy is going to have to do it properly i think :bleh:

tigertim20

Lasso off what you want to change.
Hue/Saturation - Crank the saturation right up.
Play with Hue to get the colour.

I have each seperate part in a layer mask so easy to edit for a new colour. Have attached how the above image should have looked! The only problem i see with stock decals is the bottom fairing is a bit empty. I think i will have a play with that next!

Needs HONDA down there.

Yeah. I usually have 'tank' 'fairing' 'tail' 'gaurd' type transparant layers.

tigertim20

6th May 2009, 17:38

Yeah HONDA would look good, but what color, white/red/blue? aaarrggh so many choices!

tigertim20

6th May 2009, 19:47

had a piss poor effort with paint, haha, some one wanna try and show their prowess by doing it nicely? ive extended the red over the tank etc to better fit the curves of the bike, and put honda at the bottom in white... any body?

tigertim20

6th May 2009, 19:49

fark, forgot to attach my piss poor effort! lol

sil3nt

6th May 2009, 20:02

I did these on the orange bike (i think the red looks much better but orange was already open :Oops:) Didnt post them up earlier as i didnt think they turned out that great

Something that i might try and do is take the CBR logo off the rear and run the decal from the front down to the rear under the seat. Depends on how bored i am tonight!

Oh and is that a huge dent in your tank!!? How did i only just notice this :lol:

tigertim20

6th May 2009, 20:14

nah its not a dent, its just the contour of the tank. I like the one with the cbr down the bottom, trying to picture it red, with the tank/top fairing extended down a little to cover the contour in the tank (like my previous piss poor paint effort) I think hat would possibly be the go!!!!

tigertim20

6th May 2009, 23:33

at this point, I am pretty sold on this one, except in red. Ive emailed some painters already and sent photos including some of the ones you talented people have done up for me to get quotes.
thanks for the effort guys, I have blinged accordingly!! (i think)
dont hesitate to throw out other crazy ideas though!

sil3nt

7th May 2009, 00:03

I cant paint the tank at the moment because GIMP appears to be lacking some features that photoshop has to make the job look good. However i have attached the red version if you need it.

kittytamer

7th May 2009, 11:45

OK, sorry but I'm going to hi-jack this tread to tap into all you talented photo-shoppers!
The results so far have been very impressive so I thought I'd give you something else to play with.
I'm thinking about re-painting my R6 with a scheme based on the Aprilia WSBK colours. I have attached a pic of Max's bike and my R6.
Anything to give me an idea of the finished result would be really appreciated.
Have fun guys!

Sorry to revive a dead thread, but just to see, could someone show what this would look like if the entire bike was just red, maybe this red, or the red that comes on some of the later cbr-rr's?
I am thinking red, but feel free to try change my mind by showing how she would look in another colour!

Thanks in advance photoshop gurus!!!

As far as i know Hutchy has put in all the effort for nothing :rolleyes:

I would imagine it is rather expensive to paint the whole bike.
