That plastic and frame color combo has the potentional to look not so great. It really depends on how close the PC color is to the plastic color. I think that you would either want them to not be very similair to give some contrast to the color or you would want them to be the exact same color. I love the color itself. I have painted alot of things that color. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sand4ever Posted March 31, 2007 Report Share Posted March 31, 2007 I hope you have better luck than I did. When I had the bike powdercoated It looked awesome.Then I had a sorta friend paint the plastic, needless to say it cost me a fortune. The exact color to the powder came from house of kolor. Yep 800 bucks later I had matching paint. Holly crap is what I said, now the bike doesn't come close to trees. Good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClimbAnyHill Posted March 31, 2007 Report Share Posted March 31, 2007 The blu plastic should look fine but if changing then white would be a good idea. But the IMS tank is an expesive switch. You can always keep it blu down the middle, blue seat tank & rad cover & colored fenders but it wouldn't be my choice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck An expensive airbrush job might be the way to go. :laugh: By the time you buy new Fullbore plastic and a new IMS tank you would have probably spent more than $800. I suppose you could also have your frame powder coated a different color if you wanted to take the easy way out. You might not even have to have the blue powder coating stripped off. :thumbsup: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
