ya'll help me decide what custom color for the M - Motorcycle-Journal Forums

tdurham · 07-25-2008, 02:03 PM

Ok guys,
I have my 2006 that is Silver. I have a buddy that paints so I can paint it any color I want. I want to paint it a unique but awesome looking color. Just don't know what would look best. Maybe a very deep dark candy apple metalic red ???

I welcome all suggestions

If the color is on another bike and you think it would look awesome on the M, let me know how to find the color or see it on a bike. If you know the paint code, I'll take that so I can decide.

Will upload my current "before" pic after I get home tonight. Thanks for all suggestions!!

I want to do SNAKESKIN. So, give your buddy a challenge that he has never had. Make it look alive with mutli-snake-like colors and textured paint. That would be bad @$$.

CentIllRider · 07-25-2008, 02:54 PM

flaming skull looking toward the front of the bike (google Komp 92 truck), or rolling clouds of a supercell thunderstorm that is just about ready to kick your a$$.

Yellow Pearl, black accents.

xtenzzive · 07-25-2008, 09:18 PM

Semi-flat black with glossy silver or blue ghost flames. Or red flames. Or have you ever seen that electric paint? Glows like a neon and you can paint it on? Semi flat and something else will rock.

diamond_jim · 07-25-2008, 09:47 PM

Semi-flat black

Semi-flat black with flat silver accents

or

semi-flat olive drab with semi-flat black accents

RAddiction · 07-25-2008, 09:51 PM

I took all the emblems of my '06 Blue M50 and keep it deep waxed and it looks great. People ask me if its a custom job.....So I'd paint it the Suzuki blue with ghost flames

jhendrix · 07-25-2008, 11:00 PM

I would try white paint, and then black out the rest. That would be awesome. I have yet to see a white M50.

Flat black with old school hot rod pinstriping

raycogxxx · 07-26-2008, 01:17 PM

A color I really want to try is Candy Root Beer-a really cool looking kind of honey brown, I've seen it on a couple of cars and 1 custom chopper and I think it would look great on the M.

Here's a link to some metalflake colors and paint codes:

MooseMeat · 07-26-2008, 01:36 PM

Black with Heavy Gold Flake add some Gold Ghost Flames.
That would be my chioce.

C'mon, join the Flat Pack!

Trigger1985 · 07-26-2008, 04:39 PM

I like flat, but there is just something about staring into a high gloss candy paint job and feeling like you could dive in.

tdurham · 07-26-2008, 07:16 PM

When I saw the yellow 2008 (or maybe '09 model) at the Suzuki place, I really like that, when I went back again, it was gone :0

I want something awesome but unique. Black won't be unique. I am kind of liking the idea of white, maybe a pearl white??

I think a dark dark candy apple red would really look cool too! Great ideas, keep them coming. I will post before/after pics after I decide. Thanks for suggestions. Keep'em comin!!

Angusdog · 07-26-2008, 07:45 PM

Flat deep red with red flames in gloss, very very subtle pinstripes.

nice....that's a good idea....

russd · 07-26-2008, 08:41 PM

black denim everything pipes , air filter , forks ,lamp,pipes. maybe some carbon fiber thrown in somewhere

jhendrix · 07-26-2008, 08:59 PM

Heres a white bike, just for ideas. Tis a Yamaha Roadliner. But, It looks nothing like the M50. So, you just have to imagine.

Imagine it blacked out besides the paint.

I love it.

nmkippes · 07-26-2008, 09:16 PM

After I get a few more rockchips I'm planning on finding out the paint code for the Orange M109 and shooting my M50 that orange maybe with some black pinstriping/flames.

If memory serves there are pictures of a orange M50 on the forum someplace (too lazy to look them up)

The black with gold metal flake idea is a really cool one imo.
