Hey guys,
I may want to paint bike a different color but need your guys help cause I tried a little in paint but turned out horribly. I am looking for like a pearl white. If you can, eliminate the wheel tape.

Thanks.

had to desaturate quite a bit on the front wheel to get rid of the blue "glow", but otherwise it's pretty straight...

I was wondering if you could do one more thing on the white bike pic. Leave everything the way it is but change the following.
On the front fender can you paint that black and around the headlight, black. Around the headlight, please follow where the body lines are all the way up to the mirrors or so.
I think that is what I am gonna do.
BTW, The paint job has started. Everything is sanded and getting primed as we speak.

Thank you.

I think this looks good, although I am not sure if I like it more than the first version. If it were my bike, I would still paint the front fender white like the first ps, but paint the area around the headlight black like on this ps.

Now can someone chop the dog to be blue, since the bike is white now?

stvo, if it were me, this is how I would rock it. I really like white/black/orange, and think it would work well with your bike.

Thanks again. I think this is what I am gonna do. The Headlight plastic black and the lower plastics black. NOT the front fender. Basically what you have in you pic with the orange rim tape. I like the idea, but I cant do it. On the other side of the bike is the rear shock that is very visble from the other side.(Cant see it in origional pic) When I get it back from paint, I am gonna install everything with the blue rim tape and the blue shock and see how everything pulls together.

Looks like someone dumped a gallon of jizz on the bike then wiped off the banana seat.
