Stuck at a crossroad
So i'm in the process of finishing my k3s pointy and i'm torn on how to paint it, as it is the tank and tail are copper whilst the nose and lower fairings are black, i want to spray them all one colour and the frame black to give it a nicer matching look but i'm torn on which colour to go for...
My top choices (Sorry you're gonna have to google the colours i'm posting this from mobile): Midnight Blue Pearl Matte Black Satin Black Gloss Black Metallic Gloss Black Candy Grand Blue (The stock blue) Pearl Deep Blue I'm really torn and i want second opinions so i make the right decision Thanks for input! - Dean |

Re: Stuck at a crossroad
Ford's blues are definitely good.
Black shows every mark and showd up.dust and dirt badly. Fine for a frame though

Re: Stuck at a crossroad
Deep Impact Blue is I think what Ford call that colour. And yes I agree, it is very nice if it is well prepped and waxed - looks almost liquid.

Re: Stuck at a crossroad
If it was me I'd be painting it a colour you just don't see on any SV.
I don't see the point of paying for a full respray in a standard colour. A pale green or 70s purple...? |

Re: Stuck at a crossroad
Love that colour. Goes great with the silver frame.
Bright orange looks really nice with a black frame. Someone on here has one.
