Title: stupid paint ideas
Post by: TarzanBoy on August 18, 2008, 04:30:54 PM
I promised a decal idea using photoshop.......... not realizing how tough it is to change bike colors on a photo and not have it look like a 3rd grade crayon drawing.

These are my best attempts at a decal/alternative paint scheme for a GS500F

I think the rising sun might actually look better if I make the red burst rays thicker and have less of them.  Maybe I'll mess with it later

rising sun needs to be on the faring where you can see it good, along with fatter stripes.

I only have access to ms paint but like doing things like this so here are my ideas.

Flame Decal Set to go with factory markings

Race inspired look if doing a total repaint

This one would be totally awesome if you streightened up the bird to match the line of the original paint job, also if you were more 'commited' with the idea, so get rid of the original factory markings and just use their lines to inspire more GDI'ness into it. Awesome colours tho the bird is a perfect colour against that blue.
