New paint job?
 
Having my bike painted tomorrow but not decided on the colour yet :?

Looking at either audi ibis white, for the tank, seat cover and wheels or porsche blood red for the tank and seat cover with satin black wheels. Or maybe gold wheels :?:

What would you guys go for? Any other colour combo ideas?


The bike in question,

Wheels and swingarm in the same gold as the frame.
You able to get a close match to Aprilia Red? Leave the black bits black rest red

Seen one with lots of gold, looked too much. Which aprilia red? The light solid one?

The black bits are carbon fibre, so they won't be painted!

What about a similar style to the Porsche GT3 white body with red rims and have the badging match the colour

Thinking red with red now, might just had them to the painter and say surprise me!

Might not be a good surprise lol maybe get coloured lacquer over your carbon parts?

I wouldn't personally go for satin black on anything if you plan on riding it even semi often... It looks F'in sexy when it comes out the spray shop but it's a pain to keep nice and looks awful when it starts going shiny and gets dirty in places. Just my opinion though :) Aprilia red would look nice though :D

Recently had my van colour coded, would it be sad to have the bike match the van ;)
