As many know, I have a black box eye, which could do with a respray and some TLC.

I was thinking of maybe spraying the frame red to go with it, so I asked a friend to mock it up in photoshop.

What do you guys think? I'm undecided...

Exup, why do you have 2 accounts here?

Blue and black? Not sure how well it would work. I have a blue and black leather jacket, but it's not really striking.

Its a Yamaha bandit! I'm on the fence with this one for colour scheme though.

Ditto, which is why I thought I'd ask others too.

The bike is definitely getting resprayed, and I'm staying with black. But I'd like to jazz it up a bit too...

Try a deep gold on the frame if ya keeping the rest black

Only my opinion tho

red98 · « **Reply #8 on:** 02 May 2013, 02:13:12 pm »

how about.........powder coat chrome ...........

ChristoT · « **Reply #9 on:** 02 May 2013, 02:34:17 pm »

Powder coat isn't a possibility, as the job will be done by me and a friend in a shed.

Gold.... Hmm, could work!

Exupnut · « **Reply #10 on:** 02 May 2013, 02:36:15 pm »

........a bit like u hehe

I think it needs something else red on the bike to match the frame. But opinions are personal choice, go with what you think looks best and what is pleasing to your eye!

Gold with yellow hoses ?

Personaly I like the idea of purple $:\$ , maybe I am thinking of the misses's underware

But as has been said, go with what is pleasing to you
Red frame looks pretty good, to be honest

Chris · « **Reply #17 on:** 02 May 2013, 04:36:55 pm »

red looks good, do the wing mirror stalks red too

Gold and black would look really nice. Whatever you do, don't over do it. frame and a few little touches

Would look good with the lower forks black too. Just done mine and it looks much better than the standard silver.

Looks awesome

, but I'd experiment with different colors before doing a final decision. Especially since your mate can definitely photoshop well.

Chris · « **Reply #19 on:** 02 May 2013, 05:15:07 pm »

+1,

Try some mad ideas, you never know what might work!

simonm · « **Reply #20 on:** 02 May 2013, 05:16:28 pm »

I think the red and black looks good. If you could do contrast with a metallic black chromaflair jobbie, that would rule.

My only issue is that black shows up the dirt big style.

You could always go with the carbon wrap

Chris · « **Reply #21 on:** 02 May 2013, 05:23:38 pm »

If you carbon wrap anything be prepared to burn your thumbs!

Damn near lost my thumbs doing my airbox covers!

Chris

ChristoT · « **Reply #22 on:** 02 May 2013, 09:06:05 pm »

Well, here are the potential mods:

Repsray black (a certainty)
Frame - diff. colour
Probolt kit for the frame colour
Carbon cover the airboxes (well, vinyl cheaty...

)

That's it so far.

Foxwood · « **Reply #23 on:** 02 May 2013, 09:43:58 pm »

I'm gonna steal that carbon idea. Sorry!
Put some vinyl on my mirror backs and those air boxes. Hopefully that'll complement my carbon -look hugger.

Have you considered matte black? And maybe do the frame red and new white decals?

I think metallic black (metal flake) would look better, I love the original paint on the tank, and want to replicated that look.

The bike will get a small amount of decals when reprayed. In moderation, of course. The frame colour is my bugbeart at the moment though...
