new paint job - what looks good on the CB?

Post by earthbound14 » Sun Dec 20, 2009 9:06 am

Well I just t-boned a taxi doing an illegal turn in front of me and will get some new paint and parts for my bike out of the deal. Just wondering if anyone has some good suggestions for a paint scheme.

At the moment she's all black and I kinda like it but have been considering a yellow race stripe.

Post pics of your bike!!!!

Sorry to read of your mishap, I like black too I bought a 1992 superfour in January of this year it had been standing 11 years previous owners could not get it running and so sold it on until l got my hands on it.
It was in a bit of a state I concentrated on the mechanics first until I managed to get a spark then get it to fire ( that was a happy day :grin: ) then started on the paint and plastics very happy with the result.
I like it so much I have bought another one and in the middle of getting it back on the road going to paint this one in kawasaki blue with a silver fleck coming through looking not to bad up to now needs laquering and decals.
I am no expert on paint jobs so something could still go wrong :pray: but l can always start again.

What about a paintjob like the new models sold in Japan? The classic honda colours look a treat I reckon.
