Default Let me know whatch think!!!

Tinkering with the idea of lightning graphics on my f4i. It's getting painted pearl white. I'd like everyone's opinions on how this looks.

yeah, white always looks so clean (if kept clean, lol) and the lightning would be sweet...aslong as its not overboard.

What color do you think I should get the bolts in? I was thinking black with silver outlining? Would that be too much or should I just keep it 1 solid color? Thanks guys

I think the bolts should be skinny and more silver than black. Maybe silver bolts and black trimming.Can't wait to see it when it's done. I always liked pearl white on bikes, how much did you pay for just the white?

If i had to get painted like that i would do black and yellow with the yellow having many different shades all blended in, Hell i have 26 shades of blue in my bike. I think the silver would match the white to much and the white would over power it. But it all comes down to taste and how good the painter is.

That would be hot! Just don't use too much black...the pearl white is such a hot color...the silver would rock with it!

I was thinking about doing the lightning in vinyl like the graphics on alloutgraphics.com, ebay also has a set. The paint already cost me $650 and I'm running low on money so I'm thinking it'd be cheaper then having them airbrushed on.

I also redid my seats, they're vinyl with clear overtop. I've never seen anyone do seats in this type of color before that's why I picked it. It's cloudy and the picture has some shadows but I think they turned out pretty good for about $5.00.
