respray
 

so september past i crashed the bike and it needs a respray. i want to keep it blue (cant be arzed sending paperwork away) but the question is what blue.

i'm going naked as well :smt119

at the moment the bike is pearl vigor blue but i'm thinking of just plain flat rizla blue like this one https://www.motorcyclistonline.com/3...y-suzuki-sv650. mine will be pretty much the same as i have the gsxr front end and i would be adding a suzuki bellypan and no naff high level zort.

Re: respray
 

I like the Rizla-ish blue, and it goes well with the black frame etc. As you say, apart from the high-level pipe, the bike in that article looks good.

Do you have a Fuel can on the bike at the moment?

Re: respray
 

i have a beowulf warrior can on but its being swapped out for something else as i fancied a change, its just one of those cheep akro rip off chinese jobs but in black not carbon.

if i dont like it (too loud) then i'll put the warrior back on.

Re: respray
 

Just buy used side panels and a tank? Cheaper than a pro respray.

I quite like that high level exhaust, and yes that colour goes well with the black.

Re: respray
 

I would go for renault racing blue personally.

Re: respray
 

hmm according to the blurb they are saying that the paint is Candy Grand Blue..

its not about being cheaper, if that were the case i would just rattle can it matt black.

Re: respray
 

ooohhh and to make matters worse there are two different shades of rizla blue. the old one and the new darker one.

its the new colour that i was thinking about

Re: respray
 

That new colour looks good - do it.


Why would you want to look like a Renault?

Re: respray
 

that newer colour is looking abit like the Porsche Mexico blue:

which looks pretty cool imo

Re: respray
 

To give you idea, Candy Grand Blue is what was on the Curvy - mine was that colour. I don't know if they had it on pointies.


Blue gel coats on top of silver base coat, metallic not flat and was a deeper shade unless there is a flat version out there.
