It's a GN250, like in the attached image.

I was thinking of doing the tank either a candy apple green (though I've no idea how to do it), or purple or something.

Can any of you kind people suggest colours and photoshop it on to the attached image for me? I need something that's easy enough to do with a rattlecan, for a novice.

Cheers!

Candy anything is a pain in the rear end. For example, the relatively plain looking candy red on older kawasakis is a 12 coat finish.

However, by the power of GIMP:

I think you'll agree, satin black with flames on is the way to go. Mr. Green
