Help needed with my bike paint scheme
Hi all. Since this is not about the bike per se, but rather about 'shopping this pic to get an idea of what it'll look like, I'm posting this in the graphic design section. Feel free to move this if it is in the wrong section.
Basically, I'm on the verge of repainting my beloved GSX-R750, but I'm at a loss as to what exactly I want. Furthermore, I suck at photoshop and anything else remotely connected to creativity. I would really, really appreciate it if one of the graphic masters on this here forum would be willing to help me out.
The bike in this pic isn't mine, it's my mother's, and it is newly repainted- both bikes are same make and model. However, this is not what I want. I'm more inclined to a black paint scheme with coloured stickers/vinyls. For example an inverted colour scheme of this bike- black with yellow. If someone could photoshop this to give me an idea of what it will look like, I would appreciate it very much. Also, if anyone can think of some interesting paint scheme that would like nice, I wouldn't mind it at all if you care to show me
Thanks in advance, it's much appreciated.

Re: Help needed with my bike paint scheme
I dunno hey, it looks good on the Ducati, but I don't know if the Suzuki would look good in it. But maybe with a few of those zig-zag stripes... I'll keep it in mind.

Re: Help needed with my bike paint scheme
I have actually seen a white GSX-R and it looks freakin AWESOME!
EDIT: by the way, what is your budget? are you commited to vynil, or would you be willing to go for some air-brushing?

Re: Help needed with my bike paint scheme
Air brushing would be nice, but my budget is pretty limited. We came across the buy who did the above shown bike for R1 300 in total, I think, which is dirt cheap for the quality and workmanship. Most bike shops charge around 6k for a standard respray job, even more for custom work, to give you guys an idea of just exactly how cheap this guy is. And you really should see the bike up close and personal. Photo's don't do justice to this man's quality of work.

Re: Help needed with my bike paint scheme
so what you saying is, you want a new colour theme with just plain shapes?

Re: Help needed with my bike paint scheme
Basically, yes, unless someone has a better idea that appeals to me. I'm not one for these really flashy paint jobs that stand out a mile apart from anything else standing next to it. Sometimes, to me, simple is good.
