Title: paint color and scheme
Post by: 94suzuki500 on May 02, 2005, 06:22:05 PM
I am repainting my gs right now, to white with some type or "graphic" or tribal type design painted over the top, with some airbrushed shadows.  I was wondering if yall could place some input on this. I was thinking about blue flames.  Just the crab hand kind, im not good enough to airbrush them yet.  I was also thinking some cool over lapping graphics in yellow blue and green and red or something like that.  Any input on what i should do would be appreciated.  Thanks

Yellow and blue would work good together.  Green and red always makes me thing about christmas, and I dont like those two colors, but thats just me.  Do a search and you might come up with a bunch of color combos.  You might check out airbrush.com too, there is alot of neat stuff on there done by some of the best in the world.

I'd pick complementary colors.  

If you have a white base paint, with blue flames. . . third color should be orange.

Ya i had thought of white with blue flames and orange in it too.  those pics are abit weird.  With the four colors I mentioned ealier I was meaning all 4 of them together.  but thats alot of work and I havent painted much.  THanks for the input.

All 4 of those together would be too much, in my opinion anyhow.

Suzuki, did you ever see my paint? I need to post new ones in the new hall of Fame but I did white orange and silver. Like they said, white, blue and orange would look nice. I see it being a very light, silvery blue though. That would be sweet. I like white as a primary color on bikes. Even somthing simple like white and black. It's very clean and sharp.

Anti's bike is super cool.  Check it out.

My bike (when it gets done) is going to be black, orange, and silver.  

I wouldn't go with more than 3 colors.  Otherwise you'll end up looking like the rainbow warrior.

Anti, you need to post new pics, that was one sweet lookin' machine. The paint on it was neat. Love the Baby GS, Pitcairn Island (final resting place of the HMS Bounty), and this forum.

cool.  I have been airbrushing lately and try to get some realistic flames.  I have done alright on them.  I was thinking about adding some flames to the bike.  But ya I got to see your bike.
