New paint job?

[Rumble bee]

Having my bike painted tomorrow but not decided on the colour yet :?

Looking at either audi ibis white, for the tank, seat cover and wheels or porsche blood red for the tank and seat cover with satin black wheels. Or maybe gold wheels :?:

What would you guys go for? Any other colour combo ideas?


The bike in question,

Wheels and swingarm in the same gold as the frame.
You able to get a close match to Aprilia Red? Leave the black bits black rest red

[Rumble bee]

Seen one with lots of gold, looked too much. Which aprilia red? The light solid one?

The black bits are carbon fibre, so they won't be painted!

[andrewsmith]

Aye that red!
Get it carbon wrapped ;)

[Dabteacake]

What about a similar style to the Porsche GT3 white body with red rims and have the badging match the colour

[Rumble bee]

Thinking red with red now, might just had them to the painter and say surprise me!

[Dabteacake]

Might not be a good surprise lol maybe get coloured lacquer over your carbon parts?

I wouldn't personally go for satin black on anything if you plan on riding it even semi often... It looks F'in sexy when it comes out the spray shop but it's a pain to keep nice and looks awful when it starts going shiny and gets dirty in places. Just my opinion though :) Aprilia red would look nice though :D

Recently had my van colour coded, would it be sad to have the bike match the van ;)

Nah but do it the reverse so loads of black with yellow highlights

Do it :D Good advertising aswell I guess if people recognise the colour scheme, although not so good if you ever do anything... wrong.. on the road shall we say :smt110

[Rumble bee]

Do anything wrong? Me? Never ;)

[TheRuffellator]

I'll add I wasn't suggesting you do old chap :smt033 You never know when you're twin might take it for a spin though!
Although on a different note someone from where I work (Only person to actually have a company car) had it taken off them recently for being.. caught with a lady friend in said car :oops: Did provide numerous laughs in the staff room for the weeks to come though :smt043 Anyway I'm :offtopic: here.

[Rumble bee]

Gone for candy red with gloss black wheels. Just got to wait now :o

Time for a proper clean up of whats left of my bike and get some more Ti bolts ordered :wink:

[TheRuffellator]

Nice one, get some pictures up when its back :D

[Rumble bee]

Been tidying and cleaning up the bike whilst it's in bits, 2000 grit wet and dry on the exhaust and poor boys natty paste wax on the carbon. I think it has come up pretty well!
