Non-Standard, Radical or left field paint jobs..

Post by acrmnsm »

I want to get my new (to me) storm resprayed, I built the cost in to my budget and now is the time to get it sorted.
It's red, I know you all hate red, I bloody love it, however, I am thinking to go a bit wild.
I really really really like this FT500 HRC spray job, so I am thinking something like that.
From https://motorelic.com/ascot/, it looks so awesome, and I think it could translate well on to the storm.

But I'd love to see any different spray jobs or ideas you might have.

Could copy the RC30 scheme I guess.

I love the Yeti turquoise colour.
I was tempted to buy a cheap yeti because of the colour, then I came to my senses.

Good job you didn't buy the yeti, you could buy 4 VTR's in great nick for the same money...
Which gives me another idea, like the yeti turquoise this gulf blue on a panel for sale on FB really rings my bells. In fact I once had and MTB with a gulf scheme scheme, which is an instant knicker dropper.

and this HRC version is a good starting point, though I don't like the blue to white fade, but the rest of it is OK
