Reelinfeele Posted September 8, 2015 Posted September 8, 2015 Hey all. New on this site. I was on the FB page. Getting ready paint my 83 1100e. At a total loss for a paint scheme. The tank design that I love so much is proving difficult to do anything with except solid color. I am sold in and already purchased the paint for a wes cooley blie and white. Just hoping to get some ideas on what y ou guys have done. I have done the bandit 1200 swap front and rear. Love it. Just banging my head on paint. 1 Quote

Havoc Posted September 9, 2015 Posted September 9, 2015 (edited) That's mean. Personally over the years I've done everything from Artex through OEM and hippy-shit chops to race rep's. Plenty of food for thought there. My EZ Edited September 9, 2015 by Havoc incompetent spelling 4 Quote
chunky Posted September 9, 2015 Posted September 9, 2015 (edited) My take on Gsx 1400 scheme Edited September 9, 2015 by chunky 1 Quote
Weapon Posted September 9, 2015 Posted September 9, 2015 maybe try and use the subtle break line for a two tone. I did that on my katana years ago to good effect (at least I think it looked good) Quote
Weapon Posted September 9, 2015 Posted September 9, 2015 (edited) or you could do the factory insert style for the es in wes cooley blue Edited September 9, 2015 by Weapon 2 Quote

Captain Chaos Posted September 9, 2015 Posted September 9, 2015 keep it on topic guys, OP is asking about an EZ or ED paintscheme. Quote
Reelinfeele Posted September 10, 2015 Author Posted September 10, 2015 Not a huge fan of the es scheme. May just end up doing some stripes. Never thought the tank lines would be so difficult to work with. Quote
wraith Posted September 10, 2015 Posted September 10, 2015 Welcome the OSS, As to your paint what about gloss black but with the GSX1100et 3 blue lines ? Quote
teltwosheds Posted September 12, 2015 Posted September 12, 2015 Hi, I'm not much help I think the all red like Weapons in his other post is spot on Quote
Locomotion Posted September 13, 2015 Posted September 13, 2015 Thinking that Red already suits it well Quote
Reelinfeele Posted September 20, 2015 Author Posted September 20, 2015 Dropped off at paint. Couple weeks to find out if I like I t or not. Quote
