Thinking about new paint
Been tossing around this paint idea that I can't get out of my head. Gloss black base with solid white flames pin striped in red. I would keep my horn and a/c cover pin striped and then have my console and the top of my headlight pinstriped. I would also lose the tail light. What do you guys think. Here is a pic of a bike that I got the idea from, except that one uses flat paint.

that paint scheme is great. have you thought about a white pinstripe outline of flames outlined by red keeping the inside of the flame the color of the tanks. with a thick white line i think it would bring new flavor to and old design

Them white flames look pretty cool & I think they would on yours also. I think your scoot looks tuff as hell the way it is! I also understand having somethin stuck in your head beatin on your skull until ya do somethin about it!

10000% do this, man you can get a stencil kit and lay out the flames on your tins, then use hot rod flatx, shoot the flat white satin... like Jake says, gloss would be to much of a contrast in color, texture, and gloss... but a flat white with red pinstripe... would looks sick! and cheap to do as compared to some custom paint jobs

Thats a tough one. I agree with Joe, thinking gloss might not be the way to go with your scoot. Flat would look sick.
I found a paint style on a bike I can't get out of my head also. Gloss black with red scallops with white pin stripe.
I think I will do all the motor work before I do any more cosmetic.
