Colour Change

Have you considered getting the tank wrapped?
Limitless choice of colours I suspect and has the advantage of being able to return to the original colour if you ever sell the bike.

 

That's uncanny. I was just ruing my decision to go with Jet Black (I was looking at Matt Black for months and then changed my mind at the 11th hour). Consequently I was Googling various possible painters and thinking along similar lines to you (as in classic Bonnie colours).

 

Not personally but I watched a program recently featuring a bloke called Yianni (who seems to be the superstar DJ of custom wraps). Some guy had a Lamborghini Aventador, which had been wrapped previously and he wanted it removed before selling the car. Unfortunately some knob head had vandalised it by scrawling paint over the bonnet but it turned out that the original paint was unmarked - protected by the wrap.

Damn. The more I think about it, the more I like it.

 

Not sure to how I feel about wrapping, it’s like home cooked meal v McDonalds
I’m going to change my own colour scheme at some point as I’ve a few dents and damage but not yet decided myself, although it’ll be possibly 60’s retro colours.

 

I've got myself interested now!
Handy if you don't need to change the log book (I suppose technically the bike - in my case - would still be orange).
Also protects the original paintwork from scratches and marks, plus you can always go back to the original colour if you wanted to. McDonald's is suddenly looking more appealing!

 

Jumping ship Andy??

 

Stunning. I nearly bought an R9T with that colour custom paintwork, even though I didn't want an R9T

 

Repooh.
Some of the peeps here will disown you insulting there black like this. Any colour as long as its Black. You may have to bribe them with Jack Daniels to persuade them its the right thing to do.

Very nice
But I wouldn’t run my bike on it
It makes my legs buckle so probably buckles a bike as well

 

Repooh.
I think that might help a bit. When you get it done be sure to let us all see the make up.

What a clever idea, never thought of that.

 

So what’s the final idea on colour then?

 

What would the view be on changing the jet black side covers (or whatever they're called) for matt black? Given that the engine casings are matt, I'm sure this would look better.

 

Bland I’d say. If it’s minimalist then go anthracite in matt on the side panels
