Painting My Curvy any ideas on colour and style
 

Taking my bike to my mates body shop in the next few days. Got a fully faired in blue but i`m after something different. Black and white, white or black only, bright colours, anything really, not decided yet!! Anyone got any pics or schemes they have seen?

Cheers, Electro.

Try something inspired by this band, they always have challenging art work such as this, Might cost you a bit, but it will be unique... :twisted:

Re: Painting My Curvy any ideas on colour and style
 

Cover it in Glue and then get the Org to come around and shave their nethers and stick it all over the bike ..... I got the Idea from Jackass 2 .... if you know what scene I am talking about :)

Re: Painting My Curvy any ideas on colour and style

Re: Painting My Curvy any ideas on colour and style
 

LOL , as soon as you said Afghan I had a flashback to Jackass 2 where they dressed those 2 dudes up as bombers and "supplied" the beards for them ............ yewwwwwww!!!!!

Re: Painting My Curvy any ideas on colour and style
 

I have a totally original Idea ............. just stick stupid "MONSTER ENERGY DRINK" stickers on it that have nothing to do with the bike .............. oh wait , it`s been done ?

Re: Painting My Curvy any ideas on colour and style
 

I think i`d rather go with the pubes haha

Re: Painting My Curvy any ideas on colour and style
 

To be honest , one of my favourite colours was on a Pointy , like a Dark Metallic Grey , the only one I remember seeing belonged to Bibio , that was a very nice colour , like a Galactic Grey on Kawasaki bikes .

Polka dot!

sorry. roulette green. :)

Re: Painting My Curvy any ideas on colour and style
 

Metallic grey hmmmmmmm

Ste, will try the dots on urs 1st mate :)

Re: Painting My Curvy any ideas on colour and style
 

Go for a grey metalic with a gold lacquer over the top. This it will change on how you look at it. Much like the Arai Quantum Grey lid. Looks good.

Re: Painting My Curvy any ideas on colour and style
 

And try and do something unique with the stickers as well , I prefer a twist on the originals , maybe slightly raised or something

Re: Painting My Curvy any ideas on colour and style

Re: Painting My Curvy any ideas on colour and style
 

There is a SV Thou in the Newcastle area in Kawa orange.
Was sold on in the summer

Re: Painting My Curvy any ideas on colour and style
 

i'd stick to matt, gloss or metallic. i was going to spray mine white with a pearlescent blue tint but the mix was wrong so left it with the base coat, quite glad i did as personally i find pearlescent doesn't work on bikes, the panels aren't big enough to really get the effect across unlike on cars ect so can look tacky.

I've always like binky's paint scheme (not the ****ed up look :lol: ;)), i reckon that in red a white would look pretty damn swish, I'd do that if i was going to spray mine again

Re: Painting My Curvy any ideas on colour and style
 

thanks Badger. i loved the colour to and wish i still had the bike.

here is the bike in question:

(click pic for a bigger picture)

the colour code is YLF metallic thunder grey.

Re: Painting My Curvy any ideas on colour and style
 

Satin finish bright orange with subtle black logos and satin black wheels and a satin black frame. No fake sponsorship decals and no hideous graphics.

Re: Painting My Curvy any ideas on colour and style
 

Silver frame and wheels and i`m not stripping down to paint the frame. Liking grey more and more so far though. Perhaps some burnt orange lines to enhance the curves on the bike. Going to go for matt black sv lettering and only the ones that should be there with an org sticker or 2 somewhere.

Heres a thought... :0)

Liking this but the black would have to be grey and slightly less orange or completely burnt orange

Re: Painting My Curvy any ideas on colour and style
 

As I said at the AR that is a nice bike. Quick question though, it looks like you have covers over some of the bolts in the frame (swing arm, engine mounts) what have you used for that?

Re: Painting My Curvy any ideas on colour and style
 

Noticed a guy selling them at the local autojumble just black plastic covers.Thought it gave the frame a nice neat finish.

First curvy I have seen that I like :)
