Painting my bike.

I have my mind made up between a bright red with black detailing or Jet black with some red striping. What do you think?

 

I'm still partial to the stock paint scheme on the 1st gen bikes. I think they get more recognition that way. Just my opinion though.

 

Here's the pics I have so far. Don't mock I know it needs paint. It runs like a top though.

 

If I had my Druthers I would stay Stock colors if you could.... I will say though...On mine since the paint is a little week I have been half tempted to do a black and white paint job.... in the same style ast the red white and blue....

But for you the Black with red is screaming to me...LOL

 

I just noticed... You do know that you have the somewhat rare aftermarket fairing right? You bastard! LOL

 

I voted red with black accents. Just because it doesn't show every little swirl mark or scratch.

 

Go red. I have a black bike and need everyone else to paint thiers another color so I can be unique

 

Go back to the original colors. Honda had it right back then. You will get many compliments for a correctly restored classic.

 

Got lucky with that one. It's in pretty good shape too.

 

I will also vote for the red, white and blue.

 

Here's where we're at now. I picked up the paint yesterday and hopefully will start painting soon. Going with Pearl red with black stripes and other black details. I was not one of the people that favored the stock paint, actually I'm the type of person that always has to have acustom paint job. I will post more once progress is achieved.

 

heres the red coat and some black where I need to mask the Honda logo. Next is the red on the lower fairing and then the black stripes will get taped out and sprayed.

 

Wow, remindes me of my bike. But I can't get the damn thing working. Gotta hate that dual over head cam timing.

 

I have a lot of photos from my journey to paint and fix my bike. I'll have to post them.

 

Looks like it's tool late but the Euro scheme from the 1st gen has always been my favorite.

 

Here's the paint completed.

 

Hi,
I have been woking on my 83 ceptor 750 v-twin all summer and i had to sand blast the fram and the colors that i went through were crazy, i settled for a white frame with everything elts GTO Blue and the bike tured out great, but still need a few things done, but when you chose your colors picture the bile first with the colors you chose cause you might change your mind
