I think brighter, wild colors are the way to go...  Then add in Metal Flake, Candy, Pearl...  Oh man, SICK looking in the sun.   

Pearl White is classy...  Yellow, Orange, Bright Green are flashy...  Matte Black is mean...  Silver is muted classy...  Red is fast (but played out)...  Pink and baby blue are cute and/or fun...  Dark green, Burnt Orange are retro... 

It all depends on what you want your bike's attitude to be.  I like flashy bikes...  Bright, shiny, sparkley...  Oh yeah.  Anti's Orangesicle is SWEEEEEEEEEEET!!!



So...  Come up with a description of your bike, then find a color to match.  Do you want Flash or Class?  Fun or Mean?  etc.

Yeah Anthony's bike is awesome...even better in person..

My bike with the silver metallic and cobalt blue candy..it doesn't show up well in pictures..the color seriously pops in person..ask Alpha..

it's not that I don't like the purple...it's my favorite color and always has been. but I'm getting a paint job basically for FREE. Free doesn't come around me very often, so I want to take advantage of it. I don't plan on getting another bike anytime soon either, so this one is gonna last me for a long time. I've seen a bunch of color's I like, but none that just jumped out at me.  gonna keep looking til I find that perfect color.

I want flash, but class and definately fun.....doesn't help very much.

I can't get those pics to come up. are they in the gallery?

they aren't, but I'll put them there in just a sec

Billoooo ... nice Pastrami ... anyway the 91 blue is almost that but with silver decals and red stripes around the silver.
Cool.

 That two bros can looks NICE.

Are you using it with the "ultra srinath flange" or did you have something else made up?

Class, flash, and fun...

Ok...  You're looking at a Classy base color with some sort of flashy/fun graphic or stripe.  So...  Silver or White pearl/candy/metal flake....    Then a flashy/bright color for the other color.

I love that can..its so throaty and gives me good flow! The midpipe and flange were made by my dad and I, as were the mounting brackets. I think it goes well with the bike...its off a cbr1000 cheapy find off ebay..

Don't settle for any color..I too had a set color in my head and I wouldn't stop till I found it..

The pics are now  in the gallery http://www.gstwins.com/photogallery/thumbnails.php?album=search&search=onlypastrana199

that is a great looking blue....what's that color? where can I find it online?- NEVERMIND..you posted it earlier...sorry brain fart.

It's from Alsa Corp Its the Nevada Silver base with the Cobalt Blue Candy over the top. Click on any of the pictures there to supersize them. I highly recommend using their paints..better than House of Kolor. I ordered a Quart of base and a 4oz bottle of Candy. I had left overs..enough to repaint my bike again after I wrecked it..

I saw a pic of a silver gs that looked pretty good...silver, black, grey???

I haven't seen an actual BLACK gs yet. All I've seen are super-dark blue, with very very dark blue metal flake (mine).

I'm beginning to like the pearl blues, and since seeing a pearl orange (awesome) I like it too.

Recommending those three colors seem good to me.

On a side -  anyone have a pictures of a true factory black, not dark blue ?

thanks guys for all the replies....keep them coming. I'm still not decided on a color, and I'm not going to get it painted until I have a color that is ME. I'm open for opinions still. I will post pics if I ever decide on a color. thanks

If was painting a bike, I would probably use a metallic dark charcoal gray base with silver logos. Maybe add some medium charcoal gray accents.

See if you can get some paint samples from the paint supplier...  It might help you make up your mind.   

A note on samples, Alsa will send you painted samples if you email them and ask for them. You pay shipping but its still cheaper than ending up with a color you don't like...

Orange and White!   Orange and white!
I used House of color's sunset orange and strait white all pearlized.
I don't think that would work on your bike though. Do you want to go solid or some sort of design?



  -Anti  (Anthony to Pastrana)

Id personally go with a single Colour  ,  but im having accent's airbrushed on , My brother airbrushes , i dont even have to pay for paint

i want some kind of design.....but i'm having a hard enough time deciding on color-can you imagine picking out a design
