Question Repainting my F4i

Sup guys! So i've had my bike in the shop about a week now, getting it back to new from an accident i had where i locked my rear brake and went of the road.

Basically posting because am getting my bike repainted any day of this week now, but still haven't told the guy if am going back to original or what color am going with. Am defenetly thinking i want to do 1 solid color, but after looking thru the gallery for all solid painted F4i's i just cant make my mind up of what color to go with. Here's the pics after the accident. If you have a solid color F4i or know 1 i prob havent seen can you post it on here or maybe suggest the best solid color to go with.

This guy has a whole book on all colors from all different car manufactures so the list is almost infinite.

do your favorite color. the bike will look good unless its like some puke color. if you do your favorite, everytime you will look at the bike it will look really good to you. i did my bike my fav color and i am so happy i did, i had a camaro i painted to look "the best" and i ended up wanting to repaint it to my favorite like 2 weeks later

im not trying to sound like a *****, i just think that youd like it the best

what color is your favorite?-you could always paint it like mine but maybe a diff color

Well my favorite color would be the 1 that looks best for the bike.. Colors i've thought of are Red, Black, Silver, Pearl White etc. See what i mean.lol.. I've also looked around found a red one i liked but since the paint wasnt of best quality and i couldn't picture it with as if it were a fresh red i couldn't make my mind up. I've seen a mugen orange that doesn't look bad, was also thinking all yellow, but i'd think it be too much. I got a dilemma here as u can tell..

My solid white, just for reference if you're considering white as a color.



My only recommendation is avoid solid black. It's common, boring, and hard to see at night. But that's just my opinion - it's your bike!

IMO white looks the best, its just clean and a classy look guaranteed to turn heads as well

Mine is a F4 but the side profile is the same and I painted it triple black (dcc 9300) with a couple coats of clear. You should see it next to everything else black. It makes other blacks look gray and you can see every color reflection in the background in person. Nevermind the photo quality its from my iPhone.Name:  photo36.jpg

I'm not a big fan of the all black F4i's either but I have to say that that is probably the best looking all black F4i I've seen. What does it for me is that Targa cowl. Still think if you paint your bike a darker color that it would be a good idea to send the duct covers in aswell.

I'd say you could go with a fairing kit? That way you only have to replace the tank, and paint it.
