Okay I think this works,
And again

I know I said it would be red, but......
After I checked out some black framed red ones I realised it was going to look a bit pants,
So here we are, painting and prep, repairs of fairings all done by me! Decals to be finalised and number boards too...

Thanks Martin.

Very nice Martin, green looks similar to Gary's, which works well. Gives it a nice lift from standard.

When I saw his bike I thought.... Crap. He's done what I'm doing!!!! Ha!
But I had already mixed the paint, and the black will be similar as it's Also got green and dark green metallic flake in it!
I think when I do the next one ( don't tell the wife), I will keep the colours standard!

The shade is very close to mazdas spirited green, but a little darker than standard and with less yellow.
I think it's mazda 36A.
The black is a Mercedes black, code 160 and it's called tropenshwarz, lots of green metal flake in it.
It was mixed in solvent 2k basecoat not water base, so I could dry it and do the two colours quicker with more chance of correcting errors, then lacquered over with standox clear.

Cheers Martin.

Here's a few with the decals on it!
These have all been lacquered over, but I haven't done the number boards, as they are a tad large!
And would require some titivating to get the clear to adhere well!

I think I'm getting the hang of this pictures, I will try and get a really good camera on it shortly!!

Shiney :D

Love the black and green scheme.

I don't think anyone ever lacqueres over the numberboards.
I used to be undecided, but now I am not so sure.
