why are you doing this on the OLD tired style of the bike .  Do it on the new style so we can see what it would look like.
I agree. All that high friction paint will just slow the fastest color bike. Do it to the slower gen 2 where it won't matter.

I was bored today so I got a free program from cnet and played with it for awhile..
don't know where I was going with this layout but it took forever to do :o

As much as it pains me to say this.....make the wheels black.

hey Jim if you go back and look at the first pic of the thread the wheels are silver. look at the last pic and I darkened them up some but tried to leave some detail instead of just two black circles.

Cuz I'm not a rich guy like you, who can get the new year model every year ;D  09 is what I have so gotta go with what I know!! if I ever get a wild hair to do this at least I have an idea of what it will look like... 8)

Try Pixlr. It's a web-based program. Only done basic stuff with it, but seems decent.

I always just use GIMP (and do like it).  Was just curious about that other program if it was designed specifically for color changing vehicle photos.  Not a big whoop.

I LOVE the dark Triumph green on the Euro spec 2010's.  Why didn't they make that color available here?

I saw that picture of the euro green 2010 and it is pretty fantastic.  It is a shame there aren't more than two color choices per year.  Really, there is only one color choice per year if you don't like black.  I suppose it would be a logistics nightmare with more colors, though.

no the program is just a free do all image editor. basicly I just used the brush option and painted the parts myself. took a few trys to get details cuz no one ever acused me of being an artist :o

You could also go green GZ...  8)
 
 

I have to say, I like this green. Along with the Kawasaki version, GM is painting the new Camaro's a very similar metallic green that is also very nice.

I was able to sit on one of the dark green ones when I was in England in April. ALways been partial to that color on Jags and Triumphs with Tan interiors. Got to admit I was smitten. THe sales guy said he had stripped a Honda of all the body panels in Yellow and shipped them to a guy in New Jersey who had to have that particular color on his bike as it was not available in the US. I considered it for a brief moment.......

I like the copper color at the bottom left of page in this link. http://www.tcpglobal.com/hokpaint/hok-shimrin-metajuls.aspx

Can anyone photoshop that?
