[quote="230Rocket"]Turned out great, nice job. Funny how everyone slowly gyrates toward liking the color, when I first turned up to some work colleagues with Fat Turtle they were dumb founded and full of scorn for it. Baby blue, powder blue, lounge suit blue (beats me!) and all manner of negativity. But I love the color, I just hope it's not the new black!


Haha yep a call it pastel blue, I went to the paint shop and that's what I asked for, he showed me a book of about 20 shades and I thought man your making this hard.

I picked out one and this is the end result.

Yes I also hope that this colour does not become the new black or even matt black that is everywhere, the bloke that owned my gl1000 before me painted the frame matt black... Why???
