race rep paint jobs

Hi all,
Has anyone ever seen a firestorm done in Konica Minolta colours? I've seen a few repsol and Castrol reps but not much else. As i'm respraying the bike white I thought a bit of blue like the Konica bike might break it up a bit.

Re: Thinking of painting some bits

I've always used sperex tough black on forks, frames etc. now called simoniz tough black, its a paint for anti roll bars etc and very tough! i can highly recommend it. Just prep well first and then get a good coat or two on and it looks the business and last very well too. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/...
