I decided before I sell my bike I'll clean her up.. I'm going to be replacing all the swing arm bushings/bearings, and the a-arm balljoints and bushings, and have my frame, a-arms, and swingarm powder coated (maybe my steering stem, rear brake caliper, hubs.


my question is what colors?? I want to keep my stock plastics, its white plastics with blue seat/tank/hood. Red frame is off-limits.. i dont like the look, but I was wondering what would be a good color combo for my frame, then a-arms/swingarm, I don't think I want to chrome, already have a-arms and swingarm done in chrome but i want more color.

BLACK!?!?

shocks have blue springs, but black shock covers which I will keep on them.

More then likely the guy who buy's it will want to paint it so which ever color you choose would be wrong. But if you just can't wait to make the new prospective owners think the frame might be all welded up ,paint it the stock colors.

Since ya already got a variety of blue with white plastics go with a blue frame

a heavy metallic silver would look cool, wouldnt stand out too much, either that or a blue.

WHAT ABOUT THAT COLOR THATS LOOKS KINDA BLACK-ISH, BUT YOU CAN SEE OTHER COLORS IN IT!?!? I DK IF YOU CAN POWDERCOAT THAT COLOR, BUT MAYBE ANODIZE (SP?) IT.... DO YOU KNOW WHAT COLOR IM TALKING ABOUT!?!?

Or silver-vein, i got that with my a-arms because anyother color costs more, and i actually like it, i think a blue would look good, or maybe translucent blue with silver flakes

Im not powder coating the frame to hide 'welds' or 'cracks' but because the paint is wearing around the foot pegs, etc, and I want a clean frame, the a-arms/swingarm is chipping chrome too so yeah.

I was thinking since the white and blue plastics, I should go for a candy apple blue or metallic metal flake blue, but im still not sure about the a-arms or swingarm, could go with like a deep silver or even silver vein to balance the colors a little.

And Who the hell in the right mind would PAINT over a powdercoat after they bought the bike?? Btw, Doesnt seem like any one wants to buy it right now so wtf does it matter that I change the colors? if I had red middles I would have the frame powdercoated stock honda red but since i don't its a harder choice. oh well..

LOL um the silver-vein would look good on the arms, and i think ya got the frame pretty much figured out have ya seen translucent blue? thats what i want to do to my frame, but i have no money oh and let us know how much it costs to get the frame powder coated if ya dont mind

Hey someone over on zcentral posted some pics of their 250r blue and white with a candy apple blue frame, i figured you might want to see it so ya can kind of get a idea of what yours will look like heres the link:
