Default Painting bike...photoshop please

Want to get my 02 CBR painted. Probably just one color with some pin striping but i want a quality job.

If you guys know of anybody that does good work let me know!! Im in naples, FL.

If anybody has the time could someone take the attached photo and put a custom color on it.

Im thinking either, dark burgandy, chevy ss blue, or a dark navy blue.

Thanks in advance!!

thats a tough shop job, you want single color, and the resolution is kind of low.

Better off with a single color to start, and a higher resolution pic.

Just a single color is fine. Just do one of the ones i said in the first post. Thats the best pic i can put up here. I have to shrink the photos down to the 250kb requirement.

Thanks if you can help!!

wow, i have never heard of such lazy act.
also, i dont think pin stripping a single color paint without vynils or decal will look good.
pin stripes are nice for outlining. not setting a design/pattern. <my 20 cents.

Thanks for the input. I wasnt planning on just doing pin stipes. I was thinking some sort of tribal or other design with pinstriping around it. Im just trying to decide on a base color. Hince the need for a photoshop picture with the different colors.

personally, i think the f4i looks wickly nice in yellow and white. flash pearl yellow is the oem, nice color. there is a yellow-orange pearl that looks mad nice with a bit of flake.
colourright has it. i forgot whats it called.
cooler colors dont bring out the f4is curve right.<just me

not a fan of blue on the f4i. but thats just me

this is something that I would do.
but the way, my bike had a mix of colors and it did not turn out that well. so, i just ended up doing a rossi replica. best replica in my opinion

If you have a paint store nearby, I would go and ask to look through their color chips. Great way to find colors.

With all of the bikes we paint, we will gwt an idea of color(s) from the customer, then go through and let them see how they will work together.

Finding someone to not only lay the paint right, but that can also make the graphics flow, can be hard. If you find a good painter, it's best to spend some time talking to them about what you are looking for, then give them some creative control. Always works out nice.
