Paint Change

[spartanheed_imp]

So whilst I love my new bike, I'm really not feeling the colour of it. The K10 tank is a bland grey and the side panels look like they've been sprayed with a rattle can in black.

I'm going to have a proper paint job done but I'm not sure what colour to go for? I've always liked the look of the candy gold but thats the most expensive paint going apparently and I've been quoted £650 to have the tank and side panels done

I also thought emulating the CB Four prototype would be cool, and the silver would be a cheaper colour. But then I think a silver tank, silver engine and silver wheels may be too much of the same colour.

I'm interested in peoples opinions.

Hmmm, Red, silver and gold does it for me.

For this type of set up:
#1 - red
#2 - gold
#3 - black, even if I am not fan of black colour
#4 - the other two
good luck

Red. All motorcycles, boats, and cars should be red...

 

[Rocky_imp]

Red for me too.

Someone had to vote 'blue'. Seriously, it would be a tough decision for me. Not silver, I think. It's OK, but bland for a motorcycle. Blue, red, gold would all be fine with me.

One year, there was a stunning grey tank released in Japan and Asia, but I can't rustle up a picture just yet.

spartanheed, have a look at this post, 2018 CB1100RS.

I'd have sworn there was another picture of it as I thought the CB1100 may have been sent to Europe in that grey, but I can't find it.

Edit, I must have been thinking about the 2018 RS sent to Europe.

The colour is called 'Digit Silver Metallic'.

That licorice look again! (yum)

The red with gold stripe does it for me.

In a picture you probably would not see all the different colors because of all the glitter in the paint.....

Then, you must be an artist and very picky one

If there is a $100,- difference between red and gold you will be happy to have spent more on your favorite colour, i always wanted gold but just not available, you only live once, have a treat and i agree on your sentiment for the silver/black combo.

The CB750 colors are fun, but I think the Iris Purple from the 73 CB350 would be a stunner. I plan on getting my CB450 painted in the Iris Purple with the gold tank stripe.
