Given all the choices, I like the paint job as is. Very nice. But anything fresh and glossy will be nice too.

Up close its pretty bad

i personally think that with all of the cafe'd and modded CBs out there, that a nice stock paint job is more appealing/rare than a custom job. it's almost as if running a stocker is the new custom....

my brain just exploded.

I seriously thought the same thing, but wasn't sure if my paint guy could do the garnet brown.

You should paint it the way YOU want it. If a factory look is what you like but brown ain't your bag, pick a different color. You can pick any color in the world and give it a factory style paint job with graphics and all.

I'm thinking you really don't like brown. Go red!

When I painted mine, I kept the factory style but substituted my own colours.

He's not sure what he wants hence the poll...

Isn't brown the base color for that gorgeous green color the 500's come in..?

robdrobd · « **Reply #9 on:** November 10, 2012, 06:12:45 am »

I like that green too. Like the green from the early 450's.

I might just go nuts with murals and pinups and flags and explosions and eagles and skulls and more naked chicks.

Stev-o · « **Reply #11 on:** November 10, 2012, 07:11:17 am »

Ok...green and naked chicks! How do I change my vote?

robdrobd · « **Reply #12 on:** November 10, 2012, 08:00:32 am »

No need to vote...noted.

Go to the Bass Pro Shop and look at the bass boats. Pick a color you like and paint it like a bass boat!! Jumbo Flake rules!!

gotta +1 on that. Honda made some beautiful colors, but do what you want! i personally like the garnet brown. it reminds me of my mom's old '84 Accord.

robdrobd · « **Reply #19 on:** November 15, 2012, 03:59:12 pm »

I'm going dark metallic gray and red

robdrobd · « **Reply #21 on:** November 16, 2012, 05:17:23 pm »

Ooh, maybe naked red chick silhouettes like the beginning of a Bond flick?

Dream750 · « **Reply #22 on:** November 19, 2012, 07:10:30 am »

Red is a nice choice, especially with the hard bags. Do you like the Honda candy alpha red?

Paint it whatever color makes it faster and handle better.
