I am thinking of getting my Firestorm resprayed next week - it is a red 1997 model - I would like to retain some of its redness but would like it to look a little bit individual and special - possibly some white in there might look nice - I would love people to have a go at designing a paint job or finding az firestorm image on the net that they reckon might fit the bill?

Let me have your ideas and thoughts - you never know - if I oike your design, I might let you sign the bike, or if you are lady, I may let you sign my pants with your lippy!

Mine is painted in repsol colours which (I think) looks good. But to maintain a bit of "redness" I have seen a 'storm in the Fortuna racing colours of red and silver, looked v.nice

Yeah cool that would be great - I have 2 quotes to do that paintjob - Â£300 and Â£400. And that includes plastic welds to some accident repairs on the panels!

This will be REALLY different:

I am in the US and I imported Firestorm bodywork for my Superhawk. I am reluctant to take my bike to a trackday because if I mess up the Firestorm bodywork I will be major-pissed off.

I still have my stock Superhawk bodywork and I have been looking for somthing different, and this is my idea:

I want to paint my bodywork with tinted truck bed liner! The stuff is tough as nails and the texture would cover slight blems in the plastic. If you drop the bike in a parking lot (I have never done this

) I doubt the scratch would even show.

That stuff can be tinted and include graphics-
