Right it's about time I got off the pot and organised the repaint of my gravel scuffed 999R.
So to help me decide what to do - I thought I'd ask the audience..........yes I know I did this once before but it was only half hearted and I hadn't anyone I know that could do the job.
Now I do and I want to get on with it.
My current thinking is to go with a race team rep colour scheme and in initial thought order I'd go with -
[list=1]
MotoGP
Xerox WSBK
Airwaves/GSE
AMA Superbike
Fila WSBK
d'Antin MotoGP
[/list=1]
Course I can always repaint to stock :D
Let me know what you think? To help you along -----

Airwaves - it'll be unique;) (for now)
You know how i feel about this ;):P

Everton as it's a 999 you have to go with a 999 rep, not a MotoGP rep...
Fila - been done a million times now, and there is an official rep, plus it's out of date.
Xerox - Well this years colours, not my choice though
GSE/Airwaves - slowly growing on me
Parts Unlimited - I do like this one if I am honest, v. original for the UK
But there are quite a few others that you haven't included, maybe you don't like them?
Last years Xerox bike?
Renegade/Koji ?
Monstermob?
To name but three....
What about this colour :lol:

i like the D'Antin colours from Robbie Rolfo's bike - it has this sort of flowery design which is really cool - would maybe use that where the "D'Antin" logo is as well. Good luck deciding.
Of those ones i think i'd go with Parts Unlimited or Airwaves.
But overall i think i'd choose Renegade/Koji.
And Monstermob would be one to consider too.
I'm not a fan of race reps so I'd return to stock. If I had to choose though, I think the D'Antin bike looks best, but I don't think I'd like my bike to look like an unsuccessful team's bike.

Standard. I think you'll de-value your (rather special) bike if you paint it in other colours.

Hrmmm ... I can only assume that you're not painting the carbon panels, those I would restore to red.
I would have no qualms painting 'other' fairings in a race rep but I would likely use decals so you can remove it later. Of the choices you've listed I'd have the xerox colours myself - with some thought to Haga's bike from last year as well. Actually, I'd go Haga's bike!
It would look the Dog's Borrocks! ;)

Hi Dave, I am finishing mine.. tail unit already installed as well as new Flamingo Italy Fairing and nose.. 2005 Xerox replica, It looks great in my opinion (of course) but I have done with all aftermarket parts. So I have the full OEM kit originally installed ready for swap. I am going to use the xerox color fairing for trackdays, even is a road legal fairing. The decals kit is only 40 quids, but if you want to get closer to a replica, you need some white paint for the nose and the tail unit. Tank and fairing vyinl is fine (but you need a decals applicator kit) .I am counting to have it done for the weekend and show up at popham or wherever if we meet for a ride..
However I kinda of agree with Wylie and twinfan, That's why I bought everything as spare kit.. when tired of xerox, I will swap it with the OEM kit!!
I will post pictures soon...

JHP had a set of that bodywork when I was down there once, it's just for shows as can be seen from the photo, but I guess that might get heads turning

Finished just now....
hopefully the tail unit will not..melt!!
I will post some pictures in a new topic...
Is there a Renegade/Koji decal set for sale in the market?
And the Airwaves version?
I' want to paint my track fairings.
No idea, but the guy who painted both the Renegade and GSE bikes is a mate of mine...

You mean the real ones?
Since he's in the business and if it's not too much trouble, can you ask him if he knows of any decals sets?
Yup the real deal, check out the bikes, Rage designs on the bellypan....
As far as I am aware the airwaves graphics are airbrushed on in the most part and Koji/Renegade are pretty strict with copyright, I asked to see if I could get my new kit done in a stealth koji style, he had to ask the money men... still haven't had it done, although my avatar is what I originally had on my bike (Haslam Magny Cours 2004)

:lol::lol::lol:
What's wrong with it :puzzled:
I like it a lot, but the black ones are out of the question because i don't want to paint the gas tank.
If i did, i would probably go with this one or the briel one.
