    I'm fully planning on it not staying pretty, but I want to learn how to paint. Only because I want to learn to paint, it'll be getting painted every time I mess it up. After a while I might get decent at painting

    send the bodywork to Kitt & have him paint it like a cow.

    I think this is the color Richie was talking about.....

    Yea, I ended up being THAT GUY. Tony just shook his head. People would ask what bike I am riding. I would say "Have you seen the pink bike." NO WAY


    Thanks Ryan (Pasta Rocket) for letting me know that I could borrow a 600. He got me.

    That pic is cool as hell, but way too much for my first paintjob ever. Too expensive too, too many colors. This thread has been helpful though, I'll just do whatever I feel like at the time, and to hell with it. i'll be "that guy" anyway once you guys get to know me

    Expensive? Its a straight rattlecan job. had all the florescent paint left over from a kids school project, My only expense was for the 3 cans of clearcoat. Total cost $15. Even had leftover gold pinstriping so I threw that on

    OK, so yours was not expensive. Thing is, I want to use all this crashing as an opportunity to learn to paint bikes, so I'll be spraying real paint from a gun. I'll be using cheap single-stage shit, at least as I learn the ropes, but I still don't want to have to buy 12 colors. I have some ideas floating around now that I'm not worried about it being incognito.

    Someone has that on an SV up at the races. I would think it would add a good amount of weight though.

    Re: Track Bike Colors for a New/Slow Guy?

    My dirt bike is all black plastics with no graphics. I crash it too damn often to try to keep it looking pretty, and black doesn't stand out too much in the woods (although if it's running that 2 stroke sound isn't hard to find). I don't mind the semi-stealth look.

    Stop overthinking everything and typing so much... and coming from me, that's saying something.
