Paint colour?

Ok, so I'm going to be going down the Chinese fairing route.

I have emailed them to see if they can do any other colours than the ones on evilBay. (Black, Silver, Red and Repsol). They have replied that they can so...

What colour would you do?

Non standard colours please (Just to avoid the usual and slightly boring shi*fight that usually ensues when colour is mentioned! :lol: )

And NOT pink!!

I'm thinking along the lines or British Racing Green or a really deep, dark blue.

And now I'll get the :Beer Popcorn: and sit back and relax!! :lol:

What about a TT legends rep. Looks good on the Blades.

It does look good on the Blades. However I'm not fitting a belly panel so I think the effect may be lost?

Ever seen a metalic gunmetal grey VTR? I reckon it'd look the tits.

There's a very nice Green VTR on google images, sort of Ford Focus Rs green. I know Lloydie is looking at a similar colour scheme.

I must admit to liking the Triumph Atomic Green they used to do the Speed Triple in! 8O

It's tricky working out a preferred colour. You also need to take into consideration the frame/swingarm colour as well.

Here's a couple of Gunmetal Greys and a Matte Black. I was considering the matte black of the later storms myself, but want something different from black.

For something different, how about a deep metallic Purple. :roll:

I'm toying with Black frame/swingarm etc and pearl white bodywork with fluorescent Green or yellow wheels. Or Metallic Red bodywork and polish up the frame and stuff, wheels Black or Gold. Just not sure yet as I keep changing my mind.
