    What paintjob for the ZXR?

    Been in photoshop again, now that i have the new tail

    and hey i think orange would be unique but tempted to have it with a black tail...will just be spraycanned until i can afford to do it all pretty ...

    i don't know i would kind of prefer black tail, but hey maybe i'm not seeing how silly it looks or somthing...

    verdict?

    It does look good in all orange mark, but you still have not job, im sure there are better things to spend your money on. I wouldnt really worry about spending money on the bike to make it look better in the meantime, maybe when it comes time to sell if it is going to be of benefit (i.e $400-500 paint job raises value by more than $500) otherwise just ride the damn thing and save your pennies for when you can legally ride a bigger bike.

    where opinion holds more weight than fact.

    It's better to not pass and know that you could have than to pass and find out that you can't. Wait for the straight.

    IMHO do it all orange. The black looks out of place. I would paint the wheels black though. Something like the one below.

    Can you do the whole thing in orange, and then photoshop some orange rim tape and black wheels ? Just asking because thinking of doing my race bike that colour and I can't photoshop my way out of a paperbag, but interested in what it will look like.

    Edit - Never mind

    How about carrying the black right through onto the fairing, shouldnt be hard to mask around it with some tape and newspaper.Excuse the paintshop job.
