New paint scheme - not sure I like it - opinions / advise?

You can pretty much tell from the pix what changed. I was thinking of moving the white up to the next crease in the fairing, might look better...

Here is the before pic -

i agree. yellow and black flow much better... unless you have more white on it and just a little bit of yellow...

i dont know... maybe you can stick some decals on to make it flow 'mo better' , though, I'm not a big fan of too much decals... :)

Sorry, I don't like it either. I think with the black it looks much better.

Maybe if you added some flames or some other stuff on top of the white it would look "ok".

Try photoshopping before painting next time, though. :up:

Sorry man, I have to agree and say the yellow and white don't really flow together. I think it would be sweet if you painted the yellow parts black.

I'm with you guys. I think there are too many little things that are black and so the whilte just does not work.

I was thinking of maybe going all white and getting some really light yellow color flames from tape works - thoughts on that?


Thanks for the input.

I was thinking might help it out some, brake up the solid-ness of the 2 colors.

I was looking at your RC-51 and from others I've been looking at and it semms that the sccent color is usually black, as was mine originally. So I might need to rethink the whole thing.

Agreed - suggest red or Black flames.

The white doesn't blend well into the yellow, no matter where you put it. I suggest putting a black strip, starting at the foremost point of the seat (on the tank) and underneath it (the seat), which runs towards the front of the bike, possibly tapering a bit, running along the bottom of the yellow, to act as a border between it and the white - I think it would create a line with the seat and act as a border between the yellow and white.

The white rims are really throwing me off. Other than that it doesn't look horrible, but it's not a head turner either.

Contrasting colors will give it dimension.

All that brightness is screaming at my eyes, it just kinda blends into one object with no form.

:idea: ahh haaa. how about if you also did the upper in white, same lines, then the back wheel yellow, so as to contrast the colors.Maybe a sticker here or there strategicly placed .

That sounds cool.... I think the biggest thing I dont like about it is all the little peices of black everywhere like the screws for the plastics and what not. And the overall theme just doesn'r seem to do anything for me and anyone else for that matter...... :P

How about an all white ZX6R? You can also bling it too! :P

Never seen a pure white one before. Guess it'll be a pain in the arse to clean, but still, kinda cool eh?

I think I might go with something like that but some blue to brake it up some. Stripes, flames, not sure. Maybe some race replica type stickers.


THANKS FOR ALL THE INPUT GUYS!!!

Baby, I got it goin on
A lot of pimps won't like this song
Cuz them punks like to hit it and quit it
But I'd rather stay and play
Cuz I'm long and I'm strong
And I'm down to get the friction on

Here's How you make that bike look sweet... Paint the whole thing white, Black decals, Kawi Green windscreen & Rims (Flourecent Green). Oh shit I want another ZX9 now :) My opinion on the current paint job is a negative though bro.
