    I like the red/white. The gray and black looks boring and dull

    Thanks for all of the help. Wow I have no taste I like the black and gray. I must be a dull and boring. Well if any of you think of a new scheme for the red and white feel free.

    Re: I need your help with paint

    Depends on if you want contrast, or a stealth look. I like them both, and for my bike personally I'd prob choose the black/gray (or variation of) but given the pics I like the red/white of the two of them.

    Red/White. Classic color combo. I sprayed my old gs500 in a candy red/pearl white style very similar to what you're looking to do and it looked great.

    Like the undertail exhaust on the Hawk.

    Another vote for R&W.

    Why not make the thin striping blue to give it an Interceptor theme?

    Re: I need your help with paint

    I dig the third one you posted with the thin blue line.

    Gotta make the line on the tank angle up a little more though, to match the angle on the tail. It's a little too steep.
