I'm sure you guys get questions along this topic all the time but I'd like your opinion.
Now that my VFR400 has all plastics present and correct, I'd like to treat it to a re-spray. Cause afore mentioned plastics have had a rough life!

This is what I had in mind -

But the boys opinion being I might find it hard to sell later on being a race rep?? Confused Confused

Any other idea's or opinions on this?
Was thinking perhaps a red version of the blue CBR6 (see website)

Well at least I'd be visable with that scheme, ProX

As for Glitter, purple & glitter was given some serious consideration Embarassed Embarassed Embarassed

But figure that may even harder to sell on than the BB rep Confused

I tried to sell my purple 250LC + it was a nightmare!
Best advice would be to stick to something not too personal as there's some weirdos out there that actually don't like purple glitter! Freaks!!

I wouldn't think you would have trouble selling it if it was a nice job.

That camel biaggi paint scheme is my favourite Thumbs Up Cool

What about this as a compromise -

This is what my wee lad looks like at the mo - taken yesterday during cheeky cig break Embarassed

As u can see, the panels are a bit on the mis-matched side Embarassed
(I would just lik to point out here, that I didnt drop it, its previous owner binned it on a track day Evil or Very Mad )

Ah well, if yellow isn't for you then that's the next best thing. Wink Looks good, go for it! As TB said, I wouldn't mind buying a race rep painted bike if it looked really good. Which I'm sure it will. Thumbs Up Smile

EDIT: Hang on, just checking the picture to the original one, that's a more plain paintjob and not so race rep. Still looks good though.

Hey TB, Thanks for that. I'll give them a call this afternoon when things around here calm down a bit.

Not really keen on the repsol scheme
