My hybrid paintwork dilema

[soccersmyth]

I done a deal with RD NUTS (paul) for my unpainted tank, side panels and tailpiece for his which i'm sure you're all familiar with from his build here and in his article in practical sportsbike.

Now i'm not so sure it's for me.
Was gonna get it modded slightly by getting an identical style stickerkit but where it's blue i want black and where it's white i want red.

The paintjob is second to none so having second thoughts f**king with it.




Oppinions please

Hi,

Looks good as is, but know what it's like, I change my mind constantly with mine. Now got 3 sets of lc2 bodywork, all white but with different decals, still not decided.

Biggest problem would be to get the decal exactly the same position as the old one, any stretching and it would narrow and the white line would show. Lc tanks are difficult with that decal on the contour change. Might end up ruining a perfect set of body work.

Only thing I could recomend is similar to something I did with an Lc2 tank. Got it painted and was the only time I got the painter to do the decal and he creased it and the colour came off, he then lacquered it so was not happy. Got the image works to make a new decal but got it oversized by 2mm all round then put it over the old one and got it relacquered.

Either that or it would have to be all paint instead of decal

i think it looks nice as it is - but if it were mine i might be tempted to leave the blue but get the white changed for black (it would match with the black frame and swingarm etc).

Decisions decisions.

I love the paint colour, and reckon your graphics would be better than the blue, but i also know the pain of chosing paint and decals... There is always something else you could have done LOL!
