Ideas for a new NC30 paintjob
Guys and Girls,
My current fairing is fast becoming a bit of a shambles, and while I may repair it or sell it in the future I just want to get it replaced at the moment.
As matty has been away and busy with other things I've looked at getting some new bodywork
BB Plastics have given me a good price for the basics plastics, and offer a 1 or 2 tone paint job for about £60 extra.
But I want something a bit different... and OEM paint job is out of the question at the mo, as it'll cost a bomb, so I had concidered white with imperial jap flag running from front tyre up fairing.
Now I dunno... Was thinking maybe something a little more saleable - maybe a red block paint with white race panel on the tail and a white Honda wings decal?
Or white block paint and red details?
What does anyone think?
Oh and if you are after some '91 RWB panels to repair... give me a shout as I may have some available soon..! (there are some on eBay at the mo to!)
Any recomendations/suggested paintshops or decal providers?
BikeDecals seem really good: http://www.bikedecals.co.uk/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; - any previous experience anyone?
Cheers!

Re: Ideas for a new NC30 paintjob
looks cool. I have my nc24 done in red atm. I was thinking of something similar but without the big wing. IE. white decals with smaller vfr on the fairing. no number panel though.richhemmings wrote:

Any thoughts, comments?
i was gonna continue the white from the tank, but I think i prefer a bigger wing?
will have a forceV4 on the side too I expect, and a 400gb tag each side - between raceplate and seat i expect...
