Reelinfeele Posted September 8, 2015 Share 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 Link to comment

Havoc Posted September 9, 2015 Share 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 Link to comment

Weapon Posted September 9, 2015 Share 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 Link to comment
Weapon Posted September 9, 2015 Share 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 Link to comment

Captain Chaos Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 keep it on topic guys, OP is asking about an EZ or ED paintscheme. Quote Link to comment
Reelinfeele Posted September 10, 2015 Author Share 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 Link to comment
