Well money's tiiiiiiight and i what to ride my bike asap and i'm at the painting stage.

I've painted the Aprilia yokes (Trees for you yanks :wink2:) and other brackets, pedels etc gloss black. The tank and tail is also black and so are the forks and rear shocks.

I will eventually be re-stripping the bike next winter to powder coat and have the professional paint work done but in the mean time that means i need to save some cash to do this and it ain't happening anytime soon lol

Got a load of gold aerosol sitting around so i'm gonna give it a go 2mo, it might be the final colour next winter i'm not sure yet.

Just wondered what other people thought about these colours :shrug:

Gold and black work good together. Every time I see that combo it reminds me of a Trans Am (thats an American Muscle Car for you Brits....lol). And if you throw in some gold pin striping on some of the black it'll tie it in that much better. I think everyone who has spray paint has a can of gold paint that they don't know where it came from and never seems to get used.
 
florescent green frame with the rest of bike flat black .. flat clear

Then you buy the florescent green monster stickers :)

did a bike that like once looks sharp... no pics
 
WT100 bike was "is" a ATV 400ex with a xr650L hybrid motor with a 680 big bore, theres money to be made at the race tracks... need to look pritty :)
 
I like black frames the most, but that looks ok. Smokey and the Bandit, John Player Special, New Orleans Saints, Rockstar energy, lots of black and gold that is easy on the eyes. Has a luxurious or prestigious look about it that's for sure.
