papa_smurf49319 Posted May 29, 2008 Report Posted May 29, 2008 Im going to have my girlfreind and her father paint my quad plastics. Sounds pretty simple right! Well i have a 95 with a ims 5.6 gallon tank and its a nasty yellow color! Help me decide what colors to paint my plastics knowing that the yellow tank is staying! I was thinking of orange or black, and im looking at house of kolors paint. Also open to flake, marbalized. But i want this to look as cool as possible even with the stupid ugly tank. Old pics of quad are in signature. Since then i have gotten quad rock rims and new tires! Quote
KaosBanshee44 Posted May 29, 2008 Report Posted May 29, 2008 In my opinion i wouldn't do orange yellow is a weird color to start with and decide what color will look good with it. You will never go wrong with black. I got a stock gas tank if you want to get rid of that IMS tank seeing how much you hate it. Just PM me if your interested. Quote
kawiking Posted May 29, 2008 Report Posted May 29, 2008 does ur girlfriend and her dad know how to paint plastic ?? if not u may pm the shee (kiel) for some pointers.. he did my plastic and i think kaos's is house of colors to... they both turned out bad a$$... Quote
theshee Posted May 29, 2008 Report Posted May 29, 2008 He sent me a PM, I have just been really busy and have not had a chance to return it... sorry about that. Fact is, we are loaded with work at the moment, and am really not taking much work so we dont get too backed up. Quote
papa_smurf49319 Posted May 29, 2008 Author Report Posted May 29, 2008 i love the look of the stock tank, but i love having the extra fuel capacity, and i definetly use it where we ride! So i like the tank alot, just not the way it looks. I would like to do black, but my buddy is already buying black plastics for his shee and he has a black ims, so im trying not to copy him, because we ride together and i hate when people have the same exact thing as me! But any suggestions on the color would be greatly appreciated, anything is better then the purple raspberry whatever you call it that is on it now! Also my girlfreinds dad paints cars and has done work with plastics on cars, and my girlfreind is also going to school for custom paint, so im hoping she will airbrush something for me on the plastics. I know you guys have good taste on here so any help with the colors would be great! Im stumped as in what i should do! Quote

I wouldnt go with black, so plain and ordinary. Everyone would do that cus its easy to think of. people give the wow reaction to things you wouldnt think you would see.
