    I'm Scared!....MORE PHOTOS.

    Well...wasn't happy with the gunmetal paint job so my son talked me into yellow. The plan was to paint the lower quarter of the fairings black and trimed in red with red and black decals....Well here's the yellow. It turned out almost florescent, kind of a greenest yellow. Just wanted some feedback from others....I'm not sure if I like it or not. I'm tempted to change again before total re-assembly. What do you REALLY think?....The decals are mock up copies just to see what it would look like. The VFR is from a VTEC year ( will remove the vtec lettering) and I was thinking the inside of that would be red. The black across bottom is electrical tape. My intention is to paint all below that black with a thin red stripe on top...For those that care...this bike could easily be brought back to stock by just repainting and adding decals. I just wanted some more modern right now. ALL the bike is BONE STOCK! Even the california smog parts.

    For my taste, that yellow has a little too much green, there is some killer yellows out there, I know from my painting experiences that sometimes the swatch doesn't always look like the finish. Good luck and please post pics when she is all done...

    Honestly, I prefer more richer yellows. The yellow used on the 5th gen bikes was nice. And would probably be easier to match because someone could give you a color code of their 5th gen. (If you decide to repaint again before re-assembly.)

    I think that yellow looks nice, but, I'm color blind. You should see it through my eyes! (I don't see the green others are mentioning)
