Black Betty's paint

During the course of the Chateau Flash Boxertrix inaugural ride, wine and food festival, a discussion came up about custom paint jobs with Gromit.
Finally got around to FTP'ing a few images to the new server of my Aussie S.

Note painted colour matched protectors/pods.

Paint mix was based on an Arai Giga helmet from years back. The current black pearl Arais are similar. I have seen a 330CCi in similar paint so it looks like a BMW (c*r) paint option.

Mate,

You installed the Roo Bar at the wrong end of the bike!

Cheers,

Paul

Matey... the roo bar is on the right end! :wink: ... got rid of that German gearbox and put one of those trick Italian jobbies in... 6 reverse, one forward (I like to think I could get out of trouble faster than I get into it!) :D

Very nice mate.
I collect my freshly resprayed bodywork this weekend.
I didnt bother adding any pearls or glitters to the black(raven black)as there is a fair bit of candy red.
I was gonna attempt the respray myself,but a friend has helped me out both with the paint and respraying.I cant wait to see the results,pictures should follow on next week.

Ooh, that's nice. Always good to see an S in the correct colour.

Are those indicators in the rocker covers? :wink:

Thanks, Gus and Julian.
Gus, looking forward to seeing your paint, mate. I think the red in it will be striking. 8)
Julian, now there's a thought! :idea: Did you ever see the 1100R with Z4 indicators in place of the faring roundels? Some shop in NYC did it. Pity it won't work on the S as the faring support is nearly directly behind the roundel.
