Who can... or knows how to?

Hi all

I was just thinking ahead a few months for when I finally have enough money saved to paint my bike... but I can't decide what colour to get it done. Right now it is a toss up between metallic blue or black (with blue flames??).

Does anyone know what type of (free) software I could download that is easy to use to change the colour on an existing picture as a test to see how it would turn out?

Thanks in advance

The before and after shots...

So thats pics of when you first got her - from Red Baron.
Pics of her all smashed up.
Pics of her all back together.
Pics of her all nicely painted - you know the finished product.

Hey with all this money spent on the bike..
Do you need new riding gear after your accident?

The solid black looks a bit weird huh... but I suppose it wouldn't be so solid once the decals are put onto it...

I also like the green look... but would prefer blue...

thanks by the way

Wow looks like you did a great job at fixing it up... (would have cried if mine had been as nice as yours before I crashed it.... then crashed it...)

I'll get some pics to show the condition its in now

If you like blue, check out 'Electric Blue' (and I do mean the colour, not the soft core rude-boy movies from a few years ago). A couple of examples of the colour here ...

It's a metallic blue but brighter.
I painted my CB125 that colour about 25 years ago and it made it go much faster.

I want my hair that colour!!!!!!!

Hehe, yeah thats an awesome colour. There was a ZXR750 on TradeMe last week that metallic (or something) blue, and it looked the shit! But I also like black because it makes the bike look bigger

Not really, the only gear I replaced was my helmet. Which wasn't actually damaged from the crash. I damaged my helmet when Sam crashed, I was right behind her and watched her go off the road, I slammed on my brakes and went running to her because she was all tangled up in the fence and it didn't look very good because she wasn't moving or anything, unfortunatley I took my helmet off with my left hand as I was running and threw it... and the road was on the left side, so it hit the road and scratched up my visor... the rest of the helmet was perfectly fine...

I just wanted a nice new shiney helmet lol So I brought a Shark one with graphics on it...

My leathers were only muddy from my crash and have a small (less than 1cm) scuff on the shoulder where I hit the rock/boulder/cliff thingy... but nothing noticable...

My boots were muddy as, but fine, same with my gloves...
