Playing With Colors

[wgwgoldwing]

I like silver, but was playing around in photoshop, and, well, dang it, I like them all.

I can't imagine it would be too hard to pull the panels. Having it professional painted off the bike would probably be fairly cheap. Hmmmm....

They all look good, but I'm really digging the yellow

I like the yellow also. First street bike I bought was a brand new 1979 Yamaha XS650SF that the dealer had custom painted with a bright yellow Emron paint. Got lots of compliments on that bike...Sorry about the highjack, I just had a flashback!lol

I'd rather have a bent walking stick than a yellow motorcycle. What do you have in RealTree camo?

 

[robnpat]

I like the blue. Hmmm, I wonder if an autobody shop can do that??

This is what I want!!! I think Real Tree would be the catsass!

 

[Rocker66]

I think that the yellow works really well

Yes of course they can! You can also do it at home, didn't someone (was it Lee) who posted the Tinted lights DIY video? You need to sand and then spray on. I like the electric blue...

Yellow and blue look great. That shade of green is just too dark for me. If I went that dark, I would just go for the military-look flat olive green.

 

[duk2n]

Yellow for me!

 

[Rocker66]

I wish I had photoshop as I would love to try the bike in dark (navy blue as it's known here) body work with the black plastic sections changed to white or possibly the other way round . Then a yellow coach line betwee the two colours. The motto " Audere est Facere" on the tail piece would also be nice

I was looking up possibilities last week on possible paint options and I found a process called dipping. I found a website called My Dip Kit (My Dip Kit - DIY Do It Yourself Water Transfer Printing Camo Dip Kit.). There were many different camo patterns. If you search the dipping process on You Tube, you can see how it is done. The only real problem I can see (if I consider this) is trying to keep the patterns aligned on the parts that you dip so that it flows naturally.

I would mess something like that up!

 

[rocketman24]

Yes, I think I would try it out on several things before I ever tried to do it on my NC.

I like skulls and spikes!

 

[rocketman24]

I like the Team Hard MorningWood Camouflage.

Yellow is nice. Otherwise, maybe you can try a flat green for the green? Or, abit of lime green?

Use lime green and leave the Honda badges off and then watch people trying to work out which model kawasaki it is

 

[Rocker66]

It used to be fun hearing people telling me that they had a Triumph like that whilst looking at my Kawasaki W650.
The best compliment I had for it was just after the model was launched. I was at a bike meet when a really big biker covered in Triumph owners club badges came up to the bike waked around it twice in silence then said to nobody in particular " Humph looks more like a Bonnie than the new Bonnie does" before just walking off without another word

 

[turbodieseli4i6]

The W650 is a sharp bike in my opinion.
