Repainting tank on GN250?

[bosslady]

It's gotta be better than fudgin it yourself with bodgy shit from SuperCheap (no offence DucatiLover). Maybe a cool colour with some bold stripes running through the centre of the tank, muscle-car style?

Correct. Ideas on colour? What would be COOL? I think he would surely charge extra for lines?

Yours can be the experimental one. We will see how that will turn out

But really, I might have a look around Taupo...

I think I got a pretty good deal but yea bit hard to get your tank and bits up here unless you drove it up lol.

Sweet, feel free to PM me the details.

Have to be in a few weeks time after I have a few things fixed (joys of buying second hand)

Will PM you shortly and I know what you mean. I only have a little bit of money to spend cause my grandies died a while back, figured a few hundy to spend on my bike as a "treat" and the rest on DEBT! But I recently replaced tyres, sprockets, chain, just did a third oil and filter change, rah rah rah.

All three of them?

I started typing a serious response to this but then I thought maybe it's a joke..

They will surely charge more as more work is required. What looks cool is purely subjective and based on the interaction you & I have had on here I figure there's little point in me telling you what I think looks good. These are the kind of stripes I was referring to, FWIW http://id3452.securedata.net/superbg...oads/image.jpg

I don't like to agree with you unless lesbians are involved, but you're right. Doing paint jobs on the cheap is my forte


Sent from a place without lesbians.

I hold no grudges. Opinion on colour?? Those stripes do look cool but maybe I'll leave them out, can always get decals eventually if I change my mind and they're cheaper I guess too.

Drop yours off to me and I'll build one like this

I wasn't suggesting you do hold grudges, merely pointing out that we don't seem to agree on a lot. I like blues & greens myself rather than reds, orange & yellows and the brighter the better. Baby blue isn't too masculine and bright enough that car drivers will see you coming as you split up the Northern Motorway

Find someone with photoshop (and who knows how to use it) and apply different colours to an image of your bike maybe?

Are you suggesting the Dougcati looks anything remotely like the bike in that photo? If so, you should be in politics.

But the bike belongs to a female so being masculine does not (mostly, and on this occassion) apply.
Paint the damn thing what ever colour gets you gooey.

Yea I know. It's precisely the reason I've been single so long. I think...........

Fuck no, mine's not even half way finished, nor will it have ghey Honda Spada/MC19 wheels.

There's probably not a huge market for fat GN250-riding lesbians so don't be too hard on yerself

Besides, 'spokes has a partner so there's hope for all of us.

I like the blackish dark red idea, i.e. the side of the tank of that bike in the last url.
Some kind of metallic tinge to whatever paint

Or something like this nice blue:
