Title: poll- help me choose a RYCA CS-1 color Post by sbaugz on 06/12/11 at 19:53:09 Can't decide on a color choice for my RYCA CS-1. Since its a cafe racer, I figured I would go with a bright color as often seen in that era. Regardless of color chosen, it will have a couple black stripes down center of tank, extending to taillight. http://i1043.photobucket.com/albums/b436/sbaugz/P1050902.jpg http://i1043.photobucket.com/albums/b436/sbaugz/10o1qg3.jpg http://i1043.photobucket.com/albums/b436/sbaugz/large_04.jpg http://i1043.photobucket.com/albums/b436/sbaugz/KGrHqJjIE1NDkhYgBN6e15tg_4.jpg http://i1043.photobucket.com/albums/b436/sbaugz/65b03a4fdf584589bb5b060304dae4d7.jpg http://i1043.photobucket.com/albums/b436/sbaugz/nostripes1920.jpg |

Title: Re: poll- help me choose a RYCA CS-1 color Post by babyhog on 06/13/11 at 07:48:58 Yep, obviously its up to you, but since you asked.... I'm sick of the greens. Too much of that going around these days for me. The red is beautiful, but kinda boring. The orange is nice too, but also kinda boring. The copper was my vote. Stands out but not gross. |

Title: Re: poll- help me choose a RYCA CS-1 color Post by MotoBuddha on 06/13/11 at 08:25:12 I was leaning that way for a while, did a test (see photo), but decided on a different direction. http://i280.photobucket.com/albums/kk182/motobuddha/26407d2a.jpg |

Title: Re: poll- help me choose a RYCA CS-1 color Post by Boule’tard on 06/13/11 at 08:52:19 The copper does look awesome, but it has an unfair advantage over the others because the photo is enhanced. If a paint can look that good in real life, go for it. Perhaps a Motobuddha test piece is in order! :D |

Title: Re: poll- help me choose a RYCA CS-1 color Post by T2 on 06/13/11 at 09:16:13 BRG - but a much darker version than the Mini or MB's experiment, probably less metallic as well. :) Terry |

Title: Re: poll- help me choose a RYCA CS-1 color Post by Gyrobob on 06/13/11 at 09:38:59 We decided on Corvette colors, Dark Bowling Green Metallic (paint code 91), and Dark Blue Metallic (paint code 28). We like the way they look almost black in shadows or with no direct reflecting light, but very colorful when the angles are reflecting the light right back at you. They also have a very fine speckle so they don't seem grossly metallic. The green with lots of sunlight.http://i258.photobucket.com/albums/hh253/Gyrobob_theOriginal/Motorcycle/RYCA%20CS-1%20LS650%20S40%20Savage/RYCAcolorcompare3a.jpg The green with angled light.http://i258.photobucket.com/albums/hh253/Gyrobob_theOriginal/Motorcycle/RYCA%20CS-1%20LS650%20S40%20Savage/RYCAcolorcompare4a.jpg The green without direct sunlight seems almost like a black mirror.(ooops,.. a little overspray on the fingers there, eh?http://i258.photobucket.com/albums/hh253/Gyrobob_theOriginal/Motorcycle/RYCA%20CS-1%20LS650%20S40%20Savage/RYCAcolorcompare5a.jpg Here's the blue. On this curved surface, the color ranges from very blue to almost black. We did Jud's headlight like this because the plastic chrome was peeling off, so we just peeled it all off, roughed up the surface, primed and painted.http://i258.photobucket.com/albums/hh253/Gyrobob_theOriginal/Motorcycle/RYCA%20CS-1%20LS650%20S40%20Savage/RYCAcolorcompare2a.jpg A comparison of the two colors indoors with a combination of fluorescent and incandescent light.http://i258.photobucket.com/albums/hh253/Gyrobob_theOriginal/Motorcycle/RYCA%20CS-1%20LS650%20S40%20Savage/RYCAcolorcompare1a.jpg We are using Duplicolor, about $6 a can at Advance Auto Parts. These pics are after the clearcoat, but before rubout. We did about three coats each of primer, color, and clear, using a light wet sand with a 400 grit sponge between each coat just to remove the dust nubs, etc. |

Title: Re: poll- help me choose a RYCA CS-1 color Post by sbaugz on 06/13/11 at 15:35:32 Hey guys, thanks for the input. I know obviously its up to me regarding color, but I was just curious about what others thought. I agree the lime green is overdone. Its also typically Kawasaki colors, plus I am probably going to get sick of it. I do like the orange, but feel I might get sick of it. I am thinking I am going with the copper, which is what I have been leaning towards all along. Here is another (unmodified) photo showing the copper color. I really like it. Thanks for the input. http://www.iveho.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/2187-Volvo-S60-front.jpg |

Title: Re: poll- help me choose a RYCA CS-1 color Post by sbaugz on 06/13/11 at 17:51:26 Thanks to all. The poll results coincide with the color I was going to pick anyways. I chose the vibrant copper metallic. Here is another picture of it- mine will look similar with the exact same striping through it. http://www.forgestar.com/blog/pics/joshjetta.jpg |

Naw, stock photo.. I do have a minitruck that color, somehow it lacks the panache of the minicooper. I like the copper Volvo, good choice! We'll be curious to see the bike painted like that. [smiley=beer.gif] |
