Matte scheme?

Post by hawk2993 »

Hi guys,

So i posted a topic earlier about spraying vfr scheme onto rvf, well I did it...and then a woman reversed into it and over it........so.........might as well get a new scheme...again....

My style is 'clean, understated, but has character', so i don't want stickers everywhere, i want clean lines, nice colours, maybe matte? Anyone have any Ideas? Kinda like how ducatis have simple paint jobs but I don't want flashy....

My old matte black scheme:

It went through a few incarnations:

But then wanted it looking original, and now looks like this (Chinese fairing)!

Hmmmm.....now that you've shown me that....maybe matte isn't great for these bikes... I'm thinking about these two: Image

I thought of that but I didn't wanna copy it lol...

What about adapting this ducati paint scheme to the rvf? Ducati's have clean timeless paint jobs which i've always liked..

I think satin black with silver stripes looks class - very stealthy!
