Title: Color change on '07 - PhotoShop anyone ?
Post by: SAFE-T on May 06, 2010, 11:39:55 AM
Looking to make a color change on the '07 as we don't really like the bike's graphics.

Thinking of stripping off all the decals and all black like the '04, but changing the silver/grey striping to gold and powdercoating or painting the wheels gold to match.

If anyone on the board could do this in PhotoShop for us it would be greatly appreciated.

The other option is some combination of silver/blue decals (maybe blue with a silver outline) and silver wheels, although I like the gold wheel idea myself. Not sure if we should delete the smaller decals on the tail section or not yet.

There is a nice gold powdercoat out there: http://www.powderbuythepound.com/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=46_43_84&products_id=403

Maybe we'll have to look at blue/gold decals with the gold wheels.

Decisions Decisions  :woohoo:

P.S. the paint gold paint that comes in the arisol can that you can buy from the store is a perfect match, touch up maybe??

i think it would look killer with gold centers and polished outter lip on the rims like a gold and platnum combo.
