IMO the gun metal grey would look great if it was broken up with a lighter stripe.
Your frame, engine etc is basically silver so I think a heavy grey would look a bit 'heavy' if you know what I mean ????

Maybe break the gun metal up with a stripe or two the same colour as your engine, frame? ??

i like it, i like it!!!

and the stripe could give me the chance to
use the KTM orrange......

ill have to try it and see, i like the light silver idea too
maybe one if each both offset....

Like the orange stripe idea and the colour but u may need something else to break it up or all u might see is orange stripes .. or instaed of stripes on the tank fill the dips/hollows with the orange and still run something along the frame through to the tail

i like the ford grey but its a litle "goldy" in the sunlight..

i have gone for a colour called Iron grey at this point, just gotta get some bogging and sanding done

than ill throw a coat on and see if i like it.

my original idea was to go Matt black, but after seeing a R6 in matt black, it looked like a fuken pig!

that and i have had matt black bike's, ute's, 4X4's before and im a little over it.

i must be growing up or something.......

if you're going to leave the frame and motor, i like the gunmetal grey type clors as they will contrast the frame. that tail turned out nice mate.
