painting my CBR, which I'm riding until I finish the cb750. I photoshopped a rough plan for how it will look. I did my best to make the tank and wheels look like metal, but I'm not a PS pro...
as far as the CBR paint job:
the tank and wheels will be stripped, polished a bit and cleared. the other parts will be all black. with a thick gray and skinny white stripes along the top, just on the front fender, tank(hard to see in pic) and tail piece. michelin man on front fender and 'honda racing' on tail.
I want to keep the fairing, since it's original and functional and keep everything stock except for the paint job. I'm not a big fan of the looks of full fairings, but it sure is nice to ride. so the fairing has no decals or stripes or anything, kind of understated, just black.
not sure on the decals, whether to use the honda wing on the tank or the HRC logo(prob a lil smaller than in pic).

so what do you guys think? the wing or the HRC. the grey and white stripes are on the tank, too. just hard to see. with the actual paint job I'm going to mix the gray myself, so I'll make it stand out better, prob a bit darker than in the photoshop pic.
honest opinions welcome. design wise I was going for more of an older racer kind of look, as opposed to what people normally do with full fairings, using them as a big ad space.
