right, i'm stuck, got everything apart from the top fairing for my 3tj rebuild, but it's got a tank in yam blue (the r1/6 colour) the sides are white and the rear end the same r6 blue, well mostly apart from the filler! :grin: so do i just go all one colour? original? just don't know what to do! any suggestions gratefully recieved!!

What is it on the V5 ?

Mine's black so I think that's the best colour, but a metalic would be nice

How about a race rep, something like the Yamaha Fiat GP colours from 2009, especially if you have a bit of blue and white already

Or maybe an earlier Rossi Gauloise blue

I was tempted with this for a hybrid

Have a look at the Dream Machine web site for some ideas

ta all!
the v5/frame was off a red/white.
I did look at race rep graphics, there were some sticker kits for newer bikes but didnt know how well theyd fit a tj!
do like the idea of black and silver mmmm man soo hard to decide! might have a word with the painter, see what hes got left over!

What about "Midnight" it's the standard Yamaha Black that's really very dark blue metalic. Easy to find paint for and will go nicely with silver
