changing the paint scheme - rob - 16-02-2007
hi all, following a recent accident whereby a car rammed into the arse of my busa- leaving it horrifically scarred- i am changing the paint scheme.
this is what it looked like prior to becoming infected with some gravel rash.
Have a fairly good idea of what i will be changing it too, but just want some opinions:
IF YOU HAD $5000 TO ALLOCATE ON A PAINT JOB WHAT COLOUR/DESIGN WOULD YOU GET?
What colour do you think i will be getting?
cheers

Id spend $500 touching up existing paintwork and put $4500 in my pocket then perhaps book a nice cruise for singles and paint all the available chiks with body colour. Howz Dat?

Volvi - I have to agree thats a unreal idea - however I'd just change the body paint to choc body paint so I can lick it off after
depends what colours ya like dude. red/silver would look good "Busa riders always count in three's.... 100, 200, 300"

I like what you already got Rob.
A mate in Sydney has a TL with a similar paint job too...

I feel your hurt dude, got rear end shunted the other day. As long as you can get insurance to cover the $ outlay thats fine, otherwise I wouldn'tbother.
Re: changing Rob's paint scheme - rob - 17-02-2007
all valid opinions thanks guys-
unfortunately my missus doesn't like the cruise idea
and i want something that stands out in a crowd- so black is out of the race.
Bill- i don't think anyone would want to buy my busa, given its luck so far.
Actually i did change my idea after reading your posts, so thanks.
See brainstorming is good....
Can't wait to see the finished product.
cheers

Painting it any other colour than stock reduces it's resale value & tips off potential buyers to accident damage
If that's not an issue for you go ahead paint it RED/BLACK
