New paintjob for my CBR
I'm thinking about giving my bike a new paint job. I've got some spare money and wondering what to do with it. And I've got a friend who work as a painter and paint trucks, cars etc. So it would be both well done and cheap.
But I don't know what color I should have and if I'm going to put back the stickers or just have the bike really clean.
I'm thinking about painting it black metallic with a blue pearl from the Honda civic type-r like this
Or matt black (or is it called lack-lustre?) like this:
Here's how my bike looks like now:
I think it would be nice with black covers and silver frame.
Or should I just do something completely else with the money? spending them on the bike of course.

RE: New paintjob for my CBR
i thought about going with an all black theme on mine. 1. i have seen it everywhere. 2. it looks strange without being broken up in spots.
i bought metalic red cbr deacals that i didnt use that look sweet! (i also have chromed red which looks rad too). i was going to do all black with those red accents but decided to go with the black and white theme. I like simple and clean.. i left of the large fairing decals on mine. i can sell you the decals cheep. they are very nice. (i have the black ones on mine... they are just smaller that OEM but it isnt noticable).
all black, red decals and maybe deep red rims or red rim tape would be sick.
keep the picks comin!

Thank you for your nice comments about my bike
So you guys think I shouldn't paint the fairings? I really fell for the matt black paint when I saw it on a ducati monster and think that it would be great on a cbr.
What do you suggest I should do instead then? Go for performance?
I'm thinking about going for a really clean look as Frankmackie suggested, with black and some red honda decals and red rim tape. Also thinking about lowering the bike a bit.

like the others are saying... dont paint those particular fairings... its a rare scheme...
if you really must have a black or any other bike..... hook somebody up with your fairings...*for a price* of course... and pick up a set of rashed fairings for cheap... and repair and paint.
you might even make a few bucks.
