Hello guys,

I've been thinking about re-spraying my bike. Had a thought of black through to gold, but also tried red and blue.

Thanks goto MrWoody83 and his skills in Photoshop. Much appreciated! Thumbs Up

EDIT - Changed to a poll.

I'd leave it be unless the paint work is damaged. It always raises doubts in a future buyers mind if something has been re-sprayed, unless it has a theme/race rep type paint job.

top one (blue) is my least favourite,
bottom one (gold) looks a little dated

so red gets my vote, the colour of sports bikes and cars the world over Thumbs Up

actually, on second thoughts, I think doing that to a bandit, which is a more modern bike than say a 1990's zzr600 would not do it many favours.
Older bikes tend to have more psychadelic paint schemes, colours fading into others etc.

So I agree with dainese freak, leave it as it is, unless its going to be a race rep esque or maybe some air brushing or other such tarty ness Razz

*shrugs * its your bike, couldn't care less what you do with it, just dont paint it burburry, or pink with fur.... or other tacky ness. Sick

If you want to sell it in the future and the existing paint is OK, don't spray it. INstant 25% depreciation cos it screams 'BINNED', t any potential buyer.

Cheers

resale value and potential aside,

I think the fade effect looks wrong. I dont know what it is, amateur, dated or maybe just ugly, but I dont like it.

Yep. No respect from the "keep it standard" brigade, OR the custom community. The fade has long been the dodgiest of custom mods. But who's to say? - it might be back in vogue now. There's a chav nova kicking about our way in orange fading to green Sick

If you want two colours, why not pearlescent?

Sick wheres the option of 'none they all look horrid'?

how about going for a block colour of something bright? Maybe bright yellow or orange if you wanna be different.
