sv650 stripped and being cleaned/polished

Black defo,
Black and chrome (polished metal) look mint
Plus most of the engine is already black would it be possible to paint the rest or is that silly?

as requested a few more pictures
not a huge amount of progress but you can see the expansion bottle for the coolant, coils and a bit more wiring have gone back on
for everyone that responds i am definitely considering black so how about chameleon paint in black with the red flip??

for all you that will spot it, the bracket for the tail light is going to be powder coated but not going to get it done until 1. i have the money for everything else and 2. i know what bits i want to send off for powder coating cos i'll send it all off in one lot.

If I may offer my unqualified opinion on the paint, you need something simple, and you need contrast. Not too shiny or stand-out. Maybe a brave choice, but a matte or satin black would contrast brilliantly with the bling stuff, of which there is a lot. I guess it depends on the ultimate goal, what I really hope you don't do is go for some horrible metal-flake fairground-ride type paint-job.

brave but you right that may work think i need to see an example of that effect though before i splash out on paint work.

to agree with sinbad I think thats why the black is such a good colour for the body work. Purely because black is bland it puts focus on the polished metal, if you make the paint a feature then it'll take away from the fantastic job you've done with that polishing.
