Yep, that's right folks, i have decided what colour i am painting my track/race FZ6.

As most of you know, right now, she is pink, but needs a paint, and needs to be "my" bike.

I recently did a poll on here, and the winning colour scheme was Yamaha 50th Anniversary Yellow.

Now, here's the drill, i want to get a final design, so those of you who are pretty decent with photoshop, if your interested in having a bit of a play, here is couple of pic's of the bike, in it's pink livery, followed by the paint scheme, and a few FZ6's that i have seen that might help with inspiration, that you need to draw your inspiration from...obviously my bike does not have a full race fairing, so that makes it more interesting.

Each design needs to have the following as a minimum requirement...the Yamaha "Film Strip" striping, the Race number patches, and if you so desire, your signature...as the winning entry will get that splashed on the bike somewhere too....oh, and the bike needs to be Yellow, with black & white decals

The prize for the winning design is as Austin Powers would say 1000000 credits for use in the FZ6 forum Casino!


If you want higher Res versions of the pics of my bike to go from, then e-mail me at [email protected], and i will send them to you....deadline for the comp, is March 31 at midnight, forum time...

Go forth people! Design! Pretty Please!

:rockon:
 
Do you just want a plastics only colour scheme, or are you thinking about maybe powdercoating some mechanical parts like frame and swingarm? Just want to get an idea of how extreme I can go :)

BTW I will need a hi-rez pic of your bike from the side please, can you send it to [email protected]

Cheers

it's a racebike...so only plan on doing the plastics...but go your hardest on other things...you never know I might just do extra...as for the high red pics, as mentioned, it would be cool if you could send me an e-mail to [email protected], and I will reply with images attached in high res. :thumbup:
 
My contribution. It's quickly done, so you have to excuse the rough details:spank:

i have something for the tires for you so that when they are spinning they are a solid color, but when not, each spoke has a little bit of the color.. do you follow me?
 
Well it looks like we have two starters...good work guys. :thumbup:

I like both of them, but i dont know about the yellow frame, might be a bit much work to pull the whole bike down to paint....but it looks cool!

But when will you end this competition, Wolfman? Might want to do some minor changes to the image later.

You could use emulsion, as long as it did not rain you'd be fine. :D
 
All of the designs look great! So far I like Jedi's the best. I like the large film strip look. Too bad there isn't a race lowers or full fairing. With that space you could really have some fun.
