New paint job idea

[shafty]

Twill look great CBR - go for it, and don't forget to post the results!

Umm, no squiggles, no barbed wire divider, darker burnt orange and black wheels.
Simple and clean is always better IMHO.
My 2 cents.

[vifferman]

MY image programs aren't as sophisticated as PaintShop or whatever (they're for manuals, etc.) but here's an idea of what I mean - just substitute some more solid colour for my scribble.

[The Pastor]

sorry mate but that idea sucks donkey dick.

[naphazoline]

IMO the squiggles are a bit too busy over the entire bike. Perhaps put them just on the orange section?

That would be my opinion too.

[=cJ=]

Yah, I'm not a fan of the squiggles on the black section.

Else, looks blardy nice IMO.

I like the colours they are great but i find that i prefer solid colours and no extras. Let the shape of the bike get the attention and have the colours there to accentuate it.

Im currently prettying my rg150 race bike as its a rough looking bitch at the moment. Im stripping all the munted scraped up stickers off. Man its a pain in the ass! I dont have a heat gun so i have to heat the plastics up over a wee gas cooker to get them off cleanly. Im going the two tone route but with a black belly and im undecided on the top colour. maybe blue?

Good luck and have fun, i know i am

As soon as I read that, I could see it in my mind, and I wholeheartedly agree, that would be bang on the money!

By the way, his price for powder coating was around $25 a square metre, I think for both sides, so not too expensive at all.

So what's that? Like $100 for both wheels? Thinking about maybe getting my GSXR wheels done because not much goes with Chrome Blue in the way of paint

. But (however!) if you kept it the same as your mockup, but made the lowest part of the fairing black so it's parallel with the upper black bit, that would look even more betterer (IMHO).

This is what i did with my CBR250, similar lines to your 600

Have you thought about powder coating them?

You can get a good array of colours,(including chrome and nickel.) and it's supposed to be 10 times more scratch/stone chip resistant then paint.

If you get a powder coating job done,ask them to give it a lite spray first,then bake it till it's tacky,then give it a heavy coat,and give it the full length time in the oven.

It comes out thick,hard,and an extremely good finish.

I dont like it. The orange is a bit dull I think, and I also dont like the way it goes from black to orange. too simple.

also think that the front mudguard looks bad in orange. thats just me tho.

it is important for YOU to like it. not us.

[ducatilover]

I agree with having the squiggles in the orange, looks bloody sweet though

Yesh probably about that. maybe less. www.classicgates.co.nz ask him for a quote, just give him your wheel sizes and he'll quote ya

[thehollowmen]

I like it, gorgeous idea.

You'll stand out from the crowd.

What I want is to put either UV reactive paint or mat black biochemical pathways over my bike, then an epoxy layer. If only I had the cash.

I found out I'm not allowed to put my personalised number plates (LABPRO) on my bike, we're only allowed 5 letters

you stole my wheels
