Repainting tank on GN250?

[Grashopper]

it was getting dark do the bike looks a bit maroon

Have you thought about painting the guards? Dark red and black would be pretty sweet.

I'll reserve my thoughts on colour until I see it in natural light

Ok, so far I'm liking it, but I'm looking forward to see it in real life tonight, and with decals. You might want to think about what JMSR said, though. It would look pretty neat if the front guard was panted the same red and had a black stripe in the middle. Would match the screen quite nicely in my opinion.

Possibly. But I'm too poor now. I think apart from some decals and maybe a nice badge, that's it for her. No point investing any more money on the bike apart from normal maintenance!

Like the copper-y colour, reminds me of one of these which I also quite like.

Skulls?!?

Honest opinion, I would not be overly happy with that...if the colour (at the very least) looks 'brighter' in the flesh, then mmmmmmm maybe?
A vibrant colour with white pearl added would have been the winner with no badges/stripes. But as it is now?, it really needs something to lift it because without the word Suzuki, it looks unfinished, almost like a home job.

Sorry to sound so negative, I am going on my first thoughts after seeing the pics.
I understand the $12-1500 bike V money spent on it, I am a tight bastard when it comes to spending money on bikes...fuel/rego/tyres...done!
If I were to go to the effort of changing the colour and getting it done professionally, I would expect nothing the best outcome.
I attempted something similar with a Yamaha I once owned (added some yellow shit) didn't really do it for me in the end, so sold it.


Here is Annes brand new 05' GN...for a stock colour, it was really nice, even with the badges/stripes.

It doesn't really look like the pictures and the pics ARE of it unfinished. I am getting custom badges put on the side in the next month or so when I decide what I want. I reckon it looks cool. Getting pearl was too expensive for this colour. I'm happy, it looks different which is what I wanted.

And ultimately thats all that matters.
