2010 Color scheme..... what should I do??

[slosh13]

I have built some nice quads in the past, but to me I feel they all kind of look the same. I want to do something completely different for 2010. What color schemes do you think I should do.

Here is some past builds:

bright yellow frame!!!!!!

[cwr~413]

i think the 05 bike looked the best. i like the blacked out look. what sabout black frame, wheels, a-arms and such with white plastic with some bright blue or green color graphics? not kawa green but more of a puke green.

The first thing you have to figure out is what color plastic you want to run. It is easier to base frame color off of plastic color then trying to find a plastic color that looks good with your color of frame. Also to change it up there are things you can do to the engines to add a few more eye catchers. For racing alot of that is not needed. Depends on how extreme you want to be. But I know with doing the show builds where mine has been so much different is I had it down to every little detail.

john deere green parts and yellow plastics:cool:

[Ellingsoc26]

Blue plastic with a red frame or i have also wanted to do red white and blue

[slosh13]

well These are the options I had in mind:

Plastic:
- red with a carbon fiber hood
- white plastic with a white hood quadech.

frame:
- gloss black and subframe
- candy blue and subframe
- silver frame and subframe

A-arms:
- bright orange
- candy blue
- silver
- gloss black
- bright red

graphics:
- color match background of plastic w/ a bold bright design

Other:
- nerfbars, grab bar, bumper, wheels = gloss black
- radiator hoses = match color trim
- brakelines: black or red sreamline
- handguards: match plastic color

I would go White on White with the hood and plastics... Gloss Black Frame and Subframe... and Bright orange A-arms swingarm and black stem. with white handguards.

Or I was thinking. White plastics, Red hood, red seat cover, red hand guards, gloss black frame and subframe, with gloss red a-arms and swingarm. and all your nerfs, bumpers and rims black.

That would be differnt... if you had the right graphic kit on that it would all blend in and look great.

Also what kinda shocks are you running with it. they make a huge differnce in the look of the bike. i like PEP's with black covers on them or fox shocks. makes them all black. but since you have PEP's on all your recent bikes im guessing you are staying with them.

Slosh!! What up man! We have the same taste...

Here what I was thinking about doing..

White Frame with White Sub Frame
White Plastics
Black Swinger
Chrome Lowers and Black Uppers on the front
Metallic Black Gen X Hood
White Hand Guards
Black Nerfs, Bumper, and Grab Bar

or

Candy Blue Frame with Candy Blue Sub Frame
White Plastics
White Swinger
Candy Blue Lowers with Chrome Uppers
Candy Blue Metallic Gen X Hood
White Hand guards
Black Nerfs, Bumper, and Grab Bar

I would do everything white, i saw 450r at the track today, it was all white, and it was B/A. I am actually thinking of pcing my new frame that will be coming in soon, i bent mine today:(

[Shawthy33]

I've always wanted to see someone go truly retro and match the original 250r with White Plastic, Red and Blue Trim and Gold wheels.....

I seen that guy too. He had white over kill yet it turned out pretty nice. I liked how it looked but I think this guy something "different".

You should do different colored plastics like white/blue or white/red where the back is different than the front.

[Shawthy33]

Just keep with the general color scheme of Honda, I've never been a fan of a Blue or Green Honda, just seems anti-something

[HoleshotR15]

If i had the money to do it again it would be:
White Plastic
Blackcrome frame
Candy Blue Sub frame and swinger.
Candy Blue Lowers and Chrome Upper a-arms
Black Intimidator Bumper
Black GenX Hood
Blue Hand Guards

[motomxman450]

white plastics with black everything else

rage motor

custom axis/ walsh

[HoleshotR15]

forgot to say Bronze/Copper Goldish Hubs lol

[awymore997]

Silver Plastics.....Flo Orange Frame.....pure sexy!

[300ex_#387]

Do the orange in this florescent color with a set of white plastics and black accents. I've always wanted to do my 450 like this but i went with green instead. Maybe some white CV4 hoses?

Block motor accents?

[300ex_#387]

It's a pretty sweet looking color and would turn heads for sure.

This is my sister's quad, trans purple frame, purple flake gen-x hood, the pic doesn't do the purple justice, it looks bluish in the picture but it is like a dark purple.

[motox450r]

Here is my 09 bike, was thinking about switching everything red to blue for next year.

Ive always wanted to do a purple frame and red plastics.
