My goal is to do white plastics black frame and accents but i want to through a bright color in there too like maybe yellow, but real bright like a highlighter. Or orange. Prob do it on the lower arms and swinger and maybe on the bead ring too. I dunno something like that. Clean though prob no graphics,

I like black plastics.. but they start looking chitty quicker than others.
I like the red plastics, black frame, red arms and swinger. Cant go wrong with that combo. But If I were to get new plastics, I'd prolly go with orange or white, with black frames and a different color accent for the arms and swinger.

Suicide I was very close to doing that but ended up going with blue and yellow instead, because my local place doesnt do candy colors.

yellow looks good with a lot of colors. whatever you do keep it clean and stay away from black. black + yellow looks like rotten banana and or a bumble bee.

heres mine with red accents.

i'm looking for help with ideas for my quad. i have a red ex as seen in the picture and i'm gonna paint the frame and a-arms and swingarm. but i don't know what color to paint the swingarms and upper a-arms with. everything else will be black. i want some accent colors so that is why those two things will be painted different. but i'm a black red fan!!

why black? it will look just like every other honda? why not add white instead of black? just do something different. blue or green or something.

Thank you Suicide. Here's how far we got. This will be the last teaser until its done, just to make you guys drool a little bit more. The color is bad because of the florescent lights I'll make sure take a bunch and post them when I'm done.
