Repainting tank on GN250?

[Maha]

these are cool

Out of those...pics 2 and 3 are delightful...the other two?...not so much.
Your bike your rules.

Funny I thought pic 4 looked the best.

Bear in mind a plain tank with no decals, lines or badges can look a little odd and un-finished. You can add them later but they really should have a clear coat over the top for protection.

It will be interesting to see the final outcome.

Personally, on a bike like the GN, I'd stick with a single solid colour with no more than a small pinstripe.

Wait 'till you get to the paintshop and they show you the colour charts

Dark colours work best with the GN I think, so my votes for the deep red. The tank becomes too over bearing with bright colours on such a small bike. Standard black with the original stripe worked for me once I'd tilted the tank. I think the stripes help towards the appearance of a smaller tank.

I chose a very dark, deep red. I might not get white pearl if it ends up being too expensive. I was originally going to go with black base with a pearl which is apparently cheaper but red with pearl is a little more... he said he'd spray me a panel and see what I think. I'm also gettin my screen done. I'd like a pin stripe decal, where can I get one made for my bike??

The spraypainter should be able to apply a pinstripe prior to a clearcoat. They normally have rolls of pinstriping in stock to match existing stripes for repairs, although this is becoming less common nowadays with modern vehicles. Ask when you go to check out the sample paint.

Cool. Next question, where do you think I should put the stripes on the tank? top, bottom, middle of the side. Or the top of the tank I.e. where the cap is.

If they're pinstripes nobody's going to see them on the top of the tank. Pinstripes are usually placed on an edge or a curve to highlight or accentuate the form of the panel they're placed on. Got a photo of your bike (of course you do), open the image in MS Paint and play around with different placement options by drawing lines over the photo.

I only have a tablet, so no ms paint. Maybe there's an app

A colour scheme I came across in my travels in the weekend, I would have done the center stripe on the tank as well instead of the white on the side of the tank, looks better in person than in those pics.... But I guess your guards will stay chrome
