Track bike paint mock-up

Just ordered some Armour Bodies race fairings and have spent a little time messing around in Photoshop to come up with a paint scheme. Decided I want to go with one of our product themes, in order to not spam here or try and advertise our stuff on the forum I've changed the web URL and blurred the logo.

What do you think of this paint scheme? My wheels are black with yellow rim tape BTW.

It won't quite be exact since this is using a stock R6 image and the race body is slightly different (and my exhaust kicks butt!), but the general idea is there.

Thoughts? Likes, dislikes?

Seems a little dull to me. Brighten up the yellow and orange.

Re: Track bike paint mock-up

Thanks. Bear in mind the tank is stock yellow, so the rest of the yellow will match that, I am not planning on painting the tank, just plastics. Granted the tank seems brighter due to being metal.

Ditch the graphics, looks cool to me. Flashy paint doesn't make you go fast, track time does.

Re: Track bike paint mock-up

i like it a lot. and i think it'll "pop" more once it's done. is that a navy on the headlight or jsut a weird view of the black?

Re: Track bike paint mock-up

I would outline the yellow and orange with some blue or green pin striping. It just needs a little more.
