Title: The Bike Needs a New PJ
Post by: Prafeston on November 25, 2007, 11:06:53 AM
This winter I plan on doing some things to the bike and while I have it in pieces I'm going to be giving it a new paint job. Right now it is kind of a semi gloss black with the silver frame. I've been thinking about doing a white paint on a black frame, or maybe all black, or copper orange on a black frame. What are your thoughts and opinions. I feel like making this a poll, but add in whatever input you want on color options.

I'm leaning towards white cause I haven't seen it done much with the gs. And I'm pretty partial to painting the frame black.

Definately Copper on Black!

Then, I'm biased towards bright colors.  Can you find GeeP?   :laugh:

You'll probably get a lot of votes for the copper on black paint scheme.  People round here love the copper SV's of years hence.  I personally like the yellow on black combo.  The white on black combo would be cool as well.  You don't see a lot of white bikes around, even though white is the bee's knees.  White is a real classic looking color on bikes.  Although, I'd probaby leave the frame silver if I was going to go with the white.

Yeah, I kinda want to do something that hasn't been done. Seriously considering the white on black. Though that copper orange is sexy.

BTW, I like the metallic abyss blue of the '01 model and I'm thinking of painting my bike this colour instead of black.

I don't remember blue on black being an option...haha. I'm starting to lean towards the copper...someone change me mind or make me feel even better about the copper orange on black.

Just some quick fun on photoshop with some different color schemes. All on black frame...almost positive I'll be painting the frame black.

My Attempt at Copper, would like it to be a bit darked and more metallic, but I'm not that good on photoshop.

Sea Foam/Light Blue...just for fun

See Me White

Just wanted to see a quick look at what some of these colors would look like on the GS. If I wouldn't get made fun of everywhere I went I'd totally get the Hot Pink. I'm leaning towards Black or "That" Copper color.
