So, heres the scoop. i got a 2003 R6 thats silver with a silver high mount micron pipe.

this winter, my brother will be painting his 05 r6 because the guy who took the bike after he dumped it did a one day semi intoxicated paintjob. didnt sand it down or nothing, still got paint drips and everything.

but i was thinking about painting mine maybe, but i dont know what color or colors. i was thinking two tone pearlescence? or possibly like a chameleon style.

im newer to the forum and im curious what you folks would think? here are the current pictures of the bike.

Try to do something different from everyone else.. I see a lot of pearl whites now a days.. they look nice, but now they are all starting to look the same you know.

Try like a maroon and gold sort of like Ironman colors lol.. I've always thought that would look sick, I don't know maybe it's just me.. Let me know what you finally decide on, if you even decide to paint it!
