While my bike is stripped awaiting exhaust I am looking to get it painted and the wheels powdercoated. A mate of mine works for a bodyshop and has quoted me £20 a panel.

Just wondered if anyone had some good ideas or pictures of nice colour schemes

My ones so far are:

Audi Glacier White with Dat Glow orange wheels with a white rim

Yellow with orange wheels

Any susggestions?
You are very lucky having a mate who will spray a panel for £20 :thumbup: Colour is a very personal choice in my opinion, I like the sound of the Audi Glacier White, but not sure if the day-glo orange wheels would work :)

Have you decided yet :?:

If your mind is open again try Matte Black, join the elites of me and thumper :wink:

Why not get someone good with photoshop to do some mock-ups of the bike in different styles if you/they can or whatever. Then you can judge them fairly.. ish :lol: :thumbup:

Gunmetal Grey Metallic
I actually think this would be a good choice as it one of the more rare Standard colours for a later model.

I will have to see if I can find a better pic.

The trouble with Matt black is what colour to do the frame as I like the bright colours with black frame and swingarm ect ??
