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?

that is a nice color. my cheap free program won't let me use any colors that are not in the program already.

OK cool. You think that cooper color is less visible than the nice green color You used? I definitely like the visibility aspect of the green.

I did the red one, but I think the green really stands out like a neon sign over the copper color. but that copper is awesome and would look good on the c14.

My apologies. Yeah, I'm pretty sold on the copper color. I have a House of Color shop here locally, so I think I'll go look at that paint chip in their shop.

No, I adjusted the hue & saturation of the copper one to get this shade of blue.

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.......
A friend who had crashed their VFR replaced the red bodywork with the European blue bodywork. I would love one in the sapphire blue of the Triumph Sprint ST that I traded in for my C14 last weekend, I still prefer a blue color.

I just saw a ZX14R in the show room almost this color today.

Try changing back half off front fender (to include the fork protector area) to black.  It will flow better.   Just watched new episode of American Chopper so I'm qualified.
