Engine painting

[gibbo]

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.

I was thinking PINK [:0]

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!
