I was thinking about painting my frame. What color would you recommend with the stock plastic?

alot of people use red under the red plastic..

id considered matching the shade of yellow used in the EX lettering.. also paint the wheel hubs and subframe

my plans have changed now..

black would look good way back in 2000 I painted my 99 400ex frame black and it looked good

black, either flat or gloss looks cool.

the same color red as your hubs

I have a white p/c'ed frame and some blue maiers that look great on it,but when I'm just riding in the yard I put the stock red ones on and I think the color combo looks decent.

Sorry bout the pic,I was cold and the battery was going dead

Black frame, black wheels, and black a-arms would be cool.

with black it looks older quicker and with red well.... everyone paints it red grey i do believe is the stock colour so tht looks well stock haha blue i dunno if that would go with red and white gets dirty too easy i think i painted my 99 red ex frame green i think it should look pretty goos when i am done i will post osme pics when it is done

Red with yellow frame looks decent, But I think I am going to change to black plastics
