Should I get a respray ?

Post by jay-storm »

Hi All,

I've just bought this storm. It's my third to date. I was sold on the blade front end, Ohlins rear shock and harris rear sets. Plus it's in great condition. All for £ 2,200

But.....I can't decide whether to respray it in a more subtle colour.

Opinions please.

Don't see many like that about.
Nice trick bits to finish it off. Looks like you have a bargin there. I'd leave it as it is for a bit and see if it grows on ya :wink:

Its a personal thing. Do you want to stand out or blend in. Race rep paint jobs are not my cuppa but each to their own. Question is do you like it?

I probably wouldn't respray like that, but if I bought it already painted I'd definitely keep it.

Thats my perspective.

Especially if its a decent sprayjob

Hmmm... I'm sure the boys in blue would never single out a bike like that... :?

That's the only negative I can think of! Looks good.
If you ate yourself would you become twice as big or simply disappear?
