What colour to go? - SV650.org

04-04-09, 08:35 PM

I dropped the bike an age ago and been meaning to get it sprayed but never have time as its my sole transport...

Anyway I figured since I have to get a few panels painted it might be worth getting the whole bike done.

So here are a couple of idea's. They arnt the best ill admit. Bit of a quick job with Photoshop but it gives you an idea. Standard is the silver. pearlescent white, and Satin Black (with matt finish) If anyone has any others then feel free to add them!

Cheers.

My track fairing are satin black.

I would 100% recomend against this colour, it gets mucky damn quick and you cant clean it.

The white looks facking cool, I would go for a really high gloss white. That what I plan to do next time the fairings above get wrecked.

satin black,with matt finish.....bleaugh, so your taking it to YC's for that professional on a stick look

The white sounds interesting.

But why have you posted a picture of a Falco decked in fuzzy felt in your third pic?

I couldn't be ar$ed taking my time... Im tired

It does give an idea on the colour though.

Indeed White does look like a strong candidate. Do I have the whole bike done or keep the belly pan part black?

Then they'll hear you when the shockwave catches up.

I think the black pan looks ok. I think it could compliment it, if it blends in well.

If you had it white I seriously think you'll regret the amount of road sh!te that would show up on it.
