Default How does this look? Plus photoshop help

While looking around on 600RR.net I came across this picture. Its a blue RR with the 05 tribal done in a dark shade of blue. I love the look of it.

I am thinking of picking something like this up. Doing the wheels in bronze(color of volk wheels), getting the rear sets and everything else done in black, and painting the lowers black.



Photoshop part
Can anyone get the lowers a flat black and do the wheels in bronze for me.
he is the bronze color i am looking at.

I think this it will be sweet looking (not that the blue with tribal alread isn't, but I love me some gold/bronze wheels).

I am still at work and cannot justify spending an hour or so at The GIMP touching up the photo. If it's not done by 9:00 tonight, I may give it a try, but from 5:30 to 9:00 I'll be on my bike or running with my dog.

Quick 'n Dirty, but you get the idea. I would do the swingarm in black while I was at it.

Damn it, now I'm gonna want to work on this a while more.

That would look absolutely gorgeous.But just a suggestion.Our bikes look ALOT better with color matched lowers.Especially on the red ones.Definitely go with that scheme.Really unique!

That looks great. Thanks. I just paypaled you a pat on the back.

I had my lowers done in black last night. Looks better than the silver.
All the stuff Will be getting done when the riding season is about done. I don't know if i can have my bike being down for a month getting everything done.
Maybe i will just do the decals soon. I just got to call around to get prices.
I think i MAY like the gold wheels better.

i don't know if cash is an issue, but if i were you i'd buy a set of wheels have them powdercoated then put them on. you'll be able to sell your wheels for what you got them for oe close to at least. you can get the tribal decals done pretty easily witout down time.

I know they are aftermarket brands in black. I think they are made by SATO.
I am sure they can be powercoated.
