    Pearl white or Metallic Black Trackbike

    Okay guys, help me out here please. I was originally going to paint my bike Honda Red (me being a big Honda fan and all). However, I think it is time for a change since I owned 3 red bikes already.

    I was thinking Pearl white of metallic black with a navy blue pigment. What do you think?

    This is what the paint is going to cover:




    Thanks a lot,

    Eddie

    it's a trackbike? it shouldn't look pretty, imo. but white if i have to choose. it'll look more rugged when it gets crashed...instant street cred.

    So I finally got my bodywork back from my friend's shop. We ended up painting her Pearl White. Here she is without decals:

    I don't need a twin though, I already have a real twin. you could do it opposite of mine, that'd be cool.

    Your bike does look awesome. I actually had an Euro HRC aftermarket kit on my 1st 08 1000rr for a few weeks. I think that Dudutzu had an Euro HRC kit with reversed colors. As for my 600rr, I'm not sure what to do yet. I mean the Pearl White does look awesome but I do think that a few decals will look nice on it. I'm going to talk to Chris at drippinwet tomorrow and see what we come up with.

    yup brought Rich pictures of that 1000 when he painted mine.

    you might be right about Dudutzu's being reversed, it never occurred to me it was like that. but I love the looks of it both ways.


    some decals and numbers on yours and it'll look great.
