What colors would be cool on a bobber?

I just finished bobbing my bike and I don't want to just paint it black . Does anyone have any cool ideas?

 

Honestly flat black PLUS any other 1 or 2 colors you like that will look good with what ever remaining chrome/alum you still have.

Where are the pics of your project?

 

I saw an American Chopper episode yesterday. It was the one where Rick Petko did his own bike. He painted it a flat black with charcoal flake. Looked pretty sweet. Black but not the same black as everyone else.

 

I will upload some pics soon. I plan on keeping the frame black but I would like to try and stay away from the norm without making it look dumb

 

this is the bike I saw yesterday. It was an old show.

 

I've had best luck with the traditional red&white.

 

If my bike weren't already a color I like, I would paint it Midnight Blue. That has always been my favorite Crayola color! LOL

Damn, I did it again, shared too much again, didn't I?

 

My pics are to big to upload any advice?

 

photobucket or similar and copy paste the IMG tags. Do resize your uploads to a websuitable resolution.

 

forest green with gold leaf or flake...or olive drab...

 

see?

 

OMG!!! You have pods??? lol

 

My idle :wink:

 

I was thinking blue white and black. does anyone have pics for examples?

 

I've always liked black (shiny, not flat) and a little pinstriping to set it off.
Other than that, I'd go with red & white. It just looks better to me.

 

Shiny black with red pinstripes looks good enough for my bobber.

 

The paint on that tank is what I'm thinking just blue and white. I like blue because its yamaha's color

 

I like the pinstripe idea but I'm not able to do it myself do to impatience

 

look around over here for awhile, don't try to read it, just look at the pictures

 

Cool gallery lots of good ideas!

 

that gallery is awesome!!!! great style and ideas! are you rattle canning your paint job? or do you have a sprayer? dark charcoal or maybe a blue gray would look sweet!

 

Mine is going to be a metallic charcoal/gunmetal color with satin black accents. If I can ever finish it!

 

For some reason a nice creamy white always gives a bike a little more of a "vintage" feel for me, if that's something you're going for. Cream is the color I plan on shooting my bike with when I get the chance this summer.

 

Thats one of the nice things about a bike pull the tank and tins squirt some paint and vola a whole different look dont sweat it just paint it whatever color you like then change it whenever you feel the need PS I like green

 

Blue with light blue accents, white walls, and white grips and other white accents as well.

 

I plan on using spray paint. The creamy white would go good with a light blue right? I would like to see more xj pics so upload some freshly painted projects, I think everyone would like the ideas.

 

this is the picture of the bike that i like

More ideas here.

 

Invisible?




Heh, sorry I had to

 

I think I'm going with brown and cream with white walls, I also might apolstrie the seat white and black out the engine. What say you?

 

honestly beauty is in the eye of the beholder. see my thinking "is if you like it then it looks good." i spray painted my bike for a whopping $30. that was paint and primer.

 

I here you I'm just trying to get all the different styles through my head before I tear my bike down again. Can I see pics of your paint?

 

I would still like to see any freshly painted xj s

 

I'm almost done painting my bike so pics are coming soon.
