New paint job for summer next year.

Post by CarneyUK »

Finally got the bike back on the road and already looking at what I can do to it. It's just had a full service, so gonna wait till next spring then strip it clean it and respray it.

Decided I am gonna spray it differently for next summer. Had a little play with Paintshop to see what it should look like and came up with this. It's like the original but just changed the colours round a bit and got rid of the blue.

Is my white ZXR rubbing off on people? :smt003

I think its looks ok, but the white does dominate over the green.

I'm hoping to break the white up a bit as I agree it is a bit overpowering. I am thinking that the shape of the bike with shadows etc may make the white not look so dominant.
