I'm sure I saw Green and Brown on a ET year chart when I was looking at colours for mine,I could be mistaken though,I is old

It's given me an idea though. I'm going to have to see if I can get a mock up, but I was thinking take the colours from the green and gold striped silver bike scheme. Paint the bike green and use silver and gold for the striping.

I like the sound of that.

Hopefully the dark green would look good, but I'd need to see it to be sure. Probably something that could be done on a photoshop type program. Antoher thing on the 'to do list'.

Had my 750et done in a v@uxhall red with all black stripes for something different and my 1100 standard colours with a decal instead of the suzuki badge,

 

That is lovely!

[TonyGee]

Ive seen that orange bike Toni, I think it works, its a revers of the black with orange decals 

[Swiss Toni]

Just something a wee bit different, Tones. Stands out!

[baldrick]

i like this blue candy one.

 

[baldrick]

but i prefer my own design tbh

[TonyGee]

nice baldrick, how did you do that ? 

[baldrick]

oh lots of paint stripper, many hours sanding, filling , prep, etch primer, adhesion promotor for plastics, then primer,   silver, marbeliser, black, white and many coats of candy red paint, with a few rolls of fineline thrown in for good measure. and 4 or 5 coats of clear and lots of blocking.

but it was worth it, i treated her to new tank badges too, because...........because shes worth it. 

i even did a small tank in the same scheme, no idea why, other than, because it was there

feck me thats a lot of prep !!!!!!!!!  the bit I dont like about painting   probably because im crap at it    

Ive been putting off doing the tank on my GS !!! but I might have another tank lined up ??????   

[baldrick]

im half way through stripping 5 gsxr tanks, kinda losing the will to live. ive prepped 2 slabby ones, a 11 and 750, properly, underneath too......

one of the others has been primed with some green coloured primer/filler which the normally lethal paint stripper is struggling to get through, ive christened it......."that c*nting tank"  wish i had a shot blaster....

FML...

[Swiss Toni]

No ‘Cunning Plan’ for ‘that c*nting tank’ then, Balders???
