Joe it is not Duc that uses this color... i know i have seen it... it is APRILIA... SICK THOUGH!!! i am kind of feeling the white now... i could cut my own graffics out of vinal then swap them out if i wanted to... I have a black bike... i do not want another one ha ha ha

 

my (for now) factory stock ducati 900SS SP has champagne powercoated rims and frame. and it came stock until they changed it to silver in 96 or 97.

other brands use it, but i only remembered that ducati had it, that stood out most to me becuase i own a duc with a faded gold frame

oh and mine isnt as deep gold as that aprilia, its much much lighter, almost tan.

omg, i just got the best idea.

that CB you are painting, powder the frame in the same gold color as that aprillia, and the rims. and do the tins dark british racing green with white stripes down the center line and a green racing number inside a white circle on the sides of the gas tank!

i wish i had a picture of what im imagining but I think it will look great!

 

dude i love you paint ideas!

 

triumph style with a gold frame and rims, chrome the engine and paint the cylinders black, keep the heads silver.

 

well i got the motor cheaned up a bit... still a long way to go before paint and polish... had to do it in the bath tub while the girl was at her bar... ha ha ha ooh well... it is 20* here and all my cleaners would freeze in the cold... do what you have to do... also got the frame preped up.. did some more this morning... then TO SEAN'S house where he was cool enough to let me use his HUGE oven to powder my frame and rear belt guard... came out so beyond awesome!!! I could not just rock a bronze frame now that i know ducuti and Aprilia are doing it... so i did a bit of dry mixing and got some gold flake in with the bronze... NOT to much just enough to catch the light and say BLING!!! man the pictures can not caputre how awesome this color is and how well it came out... put a coat of Ulta GLOSS clear over it! ran out of the bronze and kind of glad that i did cause i did hte belt guard in utlra black... looks great the whole thing came out sick!!! this bike is going to look insane! I only need to finish the seat (sand and paint), Paint the motor, and polish the engine cases and i can start to assemble... GETTING THERE!

 

That looks awesome, I bet it's even better in person with the flakes!

 

well.. i am beat... not working on the bike tonight... but i had to see what this is going to look like so i did a layout in the living room.... what you think!!!

Seat on



Seat off









one with NO FLASH so you get a better look at the paint...



and this is the brains behind my operation my build partner Argos... he says it is time to take a night off

 

Cover the seat in black velvet.

 

may be a bit tooo disco style for this one Joe... here is what i am thinking... very simple...


or

 

I'm dig'n it Joe.
