Title: Paint Shop Pro Request - GSXR Paint Scheme on my GS500
Post by: utgunslinger13 on April 15, 2011, 10:10:15 AM
I was hoping someone out there skilled with Paint Shop can help me out here.  I've always loved the blue/white paint scheme on the gixxers and I've been curious what it would look like on my bike as it sits now.  If possible, can you take the paint scheme from the gixxer and lay it over my GS.  Pics are below:

Close enough for some beer?  :cheers:
Things don't line up exactly due to the different design of the bikes, however I think it worked OK.
Here's 5 minutes of work:

OK, 5 more minutes of work. More will cost a case of GOOD beer.
Frame better as white/silver color

OK, now you really owe me beer.
Reversed the belly pan. I like this better.

Front fender and forks: that will really cost you!

Enjoy!

No beer so I'm done. Do what you want.
Not even a comment from the OP.  :flipoff:

Sorry fellas!  I wasn't on all weekend and my access at work is limited to break times.  I appreciate the work, but this sells me on the fact I would need to change the frame color and I love it black so that idea is out of the picture!

:cheers: :cheers: :cheers: to everyone!!

Does that mean no beer?
Reverse the colors: Blue with white accents might look good with a black frame.

Beers all around if you do one last one for me.  Same scheme on tank and chin fairing but this time leave the Buell tail black, and only change the paint color on the seat cowl.  In other words only change the 3 charcoal colored pieces. :-)

hate to ask, but can you do another on the black frame without the section that runs down on the bottom of the seat and adds a 3rd bolt?  Hopefully that makes sense.

That way I can see what it would look like if I just painted the charcoal collored seat cowl.

basically the rear cowl/pillion cover, sans the plastic piece underneath. using black frame, and the black . the pillion cover painted black to match frame?
lmk ive got a long night ahead of me
