Need ideas on new color!

Postby Vash » Mon Apr 19, 2010 8:35 am

If anyone has seen my other post in the tech section I'm rebuilding my 82 cb650sc. Also during this rebuild process I'm repainting(original was black). I'm thinking lime gren metalic with pupl flake or orange metalic with silver or black flake. I'm looking for ideas or photos of custom painted cb650s to get a better idea(I'm trying to Photoshop it was well but I'm not to good with it). To get a better understanding my bike has a backrest and the frame is black with the 4-4 exhaust. Any import would help my cause! I'll post pics tonight of what I have so far.

I would think a black flake. Just a little flake. That way its kinda original but not.
Did you clean the tank out?!?!?!?!

Well paint has been decided on. Going to be a darkish lime green for the primary color, light lime green skulls on the top of the tank(the flat spot) and on the front fender and side panels. The skulls will be painted on silver so they seem like they are distant and will be only lightly painted so you can only see them up close. Total price: $450!!! Includes body work! Will have the nighthawk back together in maybe 2...2 and 1/2 weeks. I'll be posting pics
