Alright well i bought my r6 with some ugly color design, for some reason the guy painted some parts a 3 stage blue metallic. I want the bike to no longer look like spiderman, so i have 2 choices to choose from and i’m unsure on which one i want to do 1. paint the blue back to the candy apple red 2. paint the whole bike a pearl white. here’s some pics of it now, sorry for the crappy phone pics… ![http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c303/motoxrider695/1-7.jpg](http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c303/motoxrider695/1-7.jpg) ![http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c303/motoxrider695/2-7.jpg](http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c303/motoxrider695/2-7.jpg) ![http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c303/motoxrider695/3-3.jpg](http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c303/motoxrider695/3-3.jpg) ![http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c303/motoxrider695/mybike2.jpg](http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c303/motoxrider695/mybike2.jpg) ---

You going to hire an proper shop to paint it? You going to take all the parts off for the shop? or you are just going to hand them the bike? Have you even got an estimate? If you have the money, option 2 I guess. If you really have money then this…:rofl ![http://i.imgur.com/T5ore.jpg](http://i.imgur.com/T5ore.jpg) ---

They will be done in a paint booth though so no worries. I’m not to set on the replica graphics yet. I definitely wanna do something different but im unsure of what exactly… ---

what about paint the blue parts matte or gloss black? That would look awesome in my opinion and you would have something different then everybody else. ---
