    paint scheme opinions..

    so a buddy of mine and i have conspired to repaint my 1100 this winter.

    first it was going to be just fixing the scratches.. then it was just going to be a decal kit and repaint everything. now.. well...

    what do you guys think of

    for the main colour, with a pain scheme like the aussie 83? the area that is inside the pinstriping would be a different colour.. i was thinking mebby:


    or

    I like the titanium with the green. The silver might go better with the bike as a whole, though. Post a pic of your bike as it sits and that will give a better idea of the whole package.

      the areas inside the gold pinstriping ( suzuki tank badge, gs1100g, and reflector area on the tail ) would be one of the silvers.

      i also considered just painting the whole bike black pearl and just the tank badge area one of the other colours. i'm not sure i like the side covers with so much silver.

      might just end up painting it all black pearl and calling it good, too i would probably leave the pinstripe off if i can't get it done in a silver.. i don't think the gold would look right.

        The 1000L I had was black with a charcol in the badge area.. I always liked that.. I think your colors would look good..IMO

          have you thought of doing champane and dark earth metalic in your pinstriped part

            It's not acceptable to make a post like this without at least one picture, you know...
