I picked matt black. but in all reality you want it to look sharp you spent a good amount of coin on it and you dont crash often so give it a nice paint job in gloss black or something with a good ceramic coat on the tank.

The fairings are a bit rough but I might get my 'artist' mate to do a 'Slayer' CD cover on the tank.

I reckon a blended silver and white paint job would look really good...as long as the blending wasn't to fussy or to complicated...it would still make for cheap repair...but deano...your gunna make your own mind up dispite what the out come of this pole is...but I have a gut feeling it will be anyting but blue and white...lol

Agreed. in fact I drew up a pic of mine in silver/white last time I was gonna paint it....then painted it orange again. But it did look good.

'Slops' is always a cheap option. Good P&Pers always have tons of slops. Ya get what ya get tho

What about ... Military Green? ...or some other matte khaki/olive drab type colour...

One of the considerations is your going to have orange number backgrounds.

If you go white blue and orange you end up looking like a MC cop.

I really think light main colour with a very bold darker colour over the top. Any fine detail is only visable in the pits anyway so on the track you want something that stands out so your fans can pick you out easy.

Don't do anything like someone elses bike or you will be forever being confused with them.

Craig Shirriffs bike is very diffent and although I didn't like it at first the more I see it the better it looks. Dunno why he went for Robby the Robot (Silver)leathers.

So my pick is for a light power colour with bold darker colour over the top.

Dark grays and matt black will look shit in photos as you will blend in with the track surface.
