New paint fot the ReX

[nastybud]

Go for it! Good colour scheme. Although I do have a liking for Black and Yellow. Nice to see that you aren't turning it into one of those hideous street fighters. Keep the fairing and do a real smart paint job.

ah thanks , and know i wouldnt even think of that if i wanted a bike that looked like a streetfigther then id buy a streetfighter lol im not hateing on anybody but does confues me why people do that but hey ho
i do really like the bike in yellow it does suit it but the paint job is a bit tatty in places so insted of respraying a few bits on the bike il just give it a whole new lick of paint and make it a beut again

i have been chatting with my dad and he thinks we can do the respray (not the wheels get them poweder coated) as he is an ex mechanic and knows how to spray and already has all the equiptment we need to do a profesional job.
heres a pic of how it will look when im done sorry about my bad photoshopping please tell me you thoughts and any improvments you think i could do to make it look even better

Welcome to the fold
I had an RD400 in that colour back in the day. Not sure if it was the correct name, but it was known as the "White Heat" colour scheme! I am planning on getting my Rex painted the same, thanks for the link to the decal set

I get the super-naked streetfighter thing (apart from ones with seat units pointing at the sky or the headlight inside a Simpson Bandit) at the risk of upsetting many folk on the forum its the cafe racer thing that does my nut in, i can't for the life of me see why you take a good looking modern(ish) bike & make it look like it was built in the 60's.... in the Midlands, sorry

+1. If you want a cafe racer buy an old Norton or BSA. If you want a Streetfighter thing buy a Suzuki Bandit. The TRX suits a fairing and should have one.

I did mine by hand and masked it all up, cost about £25 for paint. Not the quality you would want for a road bike perhaps.

I think the red and white would look great, and if i had seen those stickers i probably wouldnt have bothered with all that masking.
