I've got Jo's (Gsxar) engine that she wants painted. Jo thinks it should be black, me, I'm not so sure. Any suggestions ;)?

Depends. If it's not a feature I reckon black is the way as it makes it smaller (as you know for sure) but if she's going to go mad then give it a colour. Personally I'd go a matt black or gunmetal colour, one to shrink it or the other to give it a meaty look. If she's thinking gloss black tell her no. What's everyone else think? Still reckon Rupert's VT engine with the airbrushing highlights is the best engine job I've seen.

You know what? I don't see Jo as a "pink" kinda girl mate! Good luck with that one!

Yeah, I reckon a heavy metallic Gunmetal would look good & polish the cooling fins for highlights.
That, or a baby blue/jellybean green combo with nipple pink pinstripes. [xx(]
You'd better use the good quality expensive spraycans for this job Gibbo [:o)];)
That silver on that bike of the month thing from OSS looks pretty bloody good Gibbo.There's a pic in here somewhere.I think it's a heavily modded slabby with the z650 tail and some body work done shape wise...not much help really am I!
