repainting a 86 VFR700

This is my project so far. The previous owner droped it on side shown. You can see road rash on muffler and crank case still. I repaired the broken fairing and painted a gunmetal color but now I'm thinking all FLAT BLACK. Has anyone ever seen a FLAT BLACK bike besides Batmans I mean? What are your thoughts? I have new GOLD VFR DECALS to go on next...just may change color first....photo is not great I know but would like feedback.....I think all Flat black with gold trim may look very cool and different.

I think flat black COULD be nice if done right. I don't know how cleaning would go though. I vote flat black wit hthe gold decals.

 

Nice... I beleive flat black can also be nice if done right.. Black and silver are cool i think too

 

It's surprising how modern it looks when you take away the RWB paint scheme.

 

paint?

the black looks shite! but i've seen all red '86s that looked terrific.

 

what brand primer / paint did you use? Did you read any articles on the proper tecnique on painting plastic?

i am looking to paint mine this winter. any help would be great. thanks

 

black looks good. gives it the stelth look. i would black out the blinkres and fastners as well. as far as decales i would allmost go with a dark gray or a dull black. gloss black decales might work too.
