Re: what colour?
I've not seen any matt black vehicle keep a decent finish. Even seen a Merc 63AMG where their factory matt finish was peeling everywhere

Re: what colour?
Looks real good as it is tbh. Maybe white where the silver was.

Re: what colour?
Matt black, see if you can get some of the 'rubber' finish paint that I've seen around. Makes the surface really grippy too.
One thing I will say is that I would personally source some replacement decals. Bikes (SVs in particular) seem to look very wrong to me if they don't have their decals on. Sort of look unfinished and rushed. And you wouldn't want that after the work that's gone into this one. |
