Got bored today so put some stripes on the old storm.

Not to sure if I like them so honest criticism please.Its only a short measure till it all gets painted black in about 6 weeks.

Well spoke to a few body shops and to paint it pearl yellow will be very expensive. My friend who is a body shop manager said I can have it all painted black for £250 cash. At least it will look clean in black and easy to touch up if scratched chipped etc.

I am not a big fan of anything gold to be honest, but your forks look good, what paint did you use on them? Looks really smooth. Mine are a bit of a mess, wouldnt mind something similar, but probably black.

I hate gold :thumbdown: .They were done when I bought it fella.I need to get the bodywork painted and the wheels done black or graphite but I cant stop riding it :thumbup:so gods knows when that will happen :mrgreen:

I think it's great TBH. I didn't even notice it. Yellow and black are classic colours....
