How about a Jade green pearl with medium sized metallic flakes and alittle gold pearl added.
 
...maybe a medium to dark blue....even the color will add a few hp.


Maybe a candy if you want something with a little pizazz.
 
I saw that "before" picture and can't believe you wanted to change it ... that's one sweet lookin' Busa. No doubt that pearl white would be a change, and with your eye, I'm sure it'll look good. Can't wait to see the "after"

Dude, that bike is SICK !!!  It looks better than mine, neckitt, lol !!  I want to have EVERYTHING powdercoated black on my bike, but I LOVE the way the chrome looks on yours !!

How do you like those pipes ?

How about a satin black, like the swingarm ? Or are you wanting a change from the black ? Your 750 is black also, right ?

This rain is getting crazy, only like 2 days out of 10 that it won't be raining, and the 2 days are mosly cloudy ?
thanks man...  the pipes sound great might take the baffles out when i put it back together...  i'm trying to get away from the black but you never know, the 750 black too at least for now!  i think i'm going to paint it pearl white...

Yeah the rain is crazy
I was going to say, how about pearl white, then you would have the fastest color !! Just plain pearl white ? There's a pic. of a chick in the gallery with a Busa that's pearl white, and red. It's the same design as the 06 LE just instead of the grey, it's red. The red REALLY looks good !!



With the set up you have, no matter what you decide, it's going to be sick !! I can't wait to see it !!
 
Even though it is probably too late, did you consider the paint which changes colors when it changes temperature??

Just a thought.
 
White pearl with a blue flip.  It'll be pearl white but show a blue hue where the sun hits. Very cool color.  

I suggest you use House of Kolors paints. They offer better color combos IMO and are much cheaper than the factory pearls of today. If you do find a color, make sure your paintguy uses the right base color or it'll not appear the same as the paint chip you picked out. Another note, if your gonna go for a solid metallic color i highly recommend a silver flake for your base instead of a solid color such as white or black.  Solid colors for bases are great for a primary color on a mulit-graphic paintjob so it doesn't over power the secondary colors, but the solid bases seem alittle flat when used on a one color paintjob.
 
Well, it has been raining in the DC area for the past week. It looks like it is going to rain for a few more days. I got tired of just looking at my Busa so decide to take it apart and see if I can have it painted before the sunshine returns... Yeah I know it sounds crazy but I have been debating weather or not to paint it, so now the decision has been made.

Still trying to think of a color"¦ I just want on solid color no designs and the Kanji of course. I will be taking color suggestions until Sunday at midnight. I will be dropping the parts of in the morning so they can do the prep work. So I need a color by Monday morning.

Side note: All the parts came off with ease... It took about 4hrs to complete the work and clean up my mess"¦
BJ,

I think that bike looks so good the way it is that I hate to see you change it, but it is yours and I can understand. If you really have to, I think you should keep it dark and have a great contrasting color to compliment it. Here is a couple of pictures of a bike that a friend of mine painted, the same person that painted my Harley.
No matter what you choose I know it will look great having seen all your work so far. When it is done please send pic's.

One more... They have not been clear coated yet..

I see you like that picture I took of your bike when you were here doing the seat cowl mod. When you get the Busa back together let me know and we can do a photo shoot down at point lookout..

The paint job in your pics look ridiculous.

Maybe I will paint it orange like yours?
