black ducati my 996 is gonna be re sprayed at the end of the summer to get rid of all the stone chips,was thinking about black ....any views? anyone reckon it'll de value it at all?? |
Hmmm....Black 996 - should look the business. :cool: |
I was thinking black for my TD fairings ... but couldn't be arsed painting my spare tank etc ... Red it is then ... |
Nah it'll look naf!!!!:o:o:o:o ![]() Tim:frog: |
like it rattler,black it is then!!! |
I did a customers bike in Black last December. Had chrome decals made up and it looked the absolute dogs.................... Anthony.............where are you with some piccies :o |
Rattler - yeah you're right looks a bit naff................(not)...... Is that all carbon fibre? Looks like the paints been plastered on how many coats was that?:o |
No - these were my old GRP track fairings, they're pre-impregnated colour, not bad for cheap track stuff, that's how they came!!! I've got carbon / kevlar ones now, these look even better, but I don't have a really decent picture of them. Here's one from a wet and dirty Brands; ![]() Tim:frog: |
:cool: |
must say, I love the 998 style slab sides....fabulous:cool: |
Boss "RED" nuff said, just do it, beware of the yellow pervs on here! |
lol,ok rcg, will do |
Rattler, What are those tyres? Forgive my ignorance but don't they look a little "agricultural"? |
They're called wets!!! It was pi55ing down!!! |
That'd do it then :P The bike looks superb in black by the way!!! |
Do it, Do it, Do it!!!! You know you want to... Black is the new red...You know it makes sense:devil: |
YES BLACK. Rattlers looks ace. |

As for black, I almost went that way a couple of years ago but decided not to, although I quite fancy it again. Although still want to try out a silver and blue, oh, choices choices. |
Rattler, Where'd you get the pre-preg in black from? Cheers JS |
I was thinking about a blue duke before I went for black, you don't see many blue 996's. ![]() You should put yours back to redbull colours Jamie - they look the dogs!! Tim |
JS Give Barry a call - his fairings are about the best I've seen. Similar to Vimori quality, but about half the price!!! He will also paint (pre-impreg) in any solid colour and put in number panels if you want. Mob:07748 876 842 He's also a really nice guy. Tim:frog: |
hmmmm... i still like that blue.... i am still thinking about going for blue and silver when i get my arse in gear though. does anyone know who owns that blue and silver 748r that i keep seeing around? |
Blue and Silver? Not sure about the design, but the colours look good together; ![]() Tim:frog: [Edited on 19-8-2004 by Rattler] |
My RedBull stuff is all my road bodywork Tim, wouldn't want to put that on track. However if I get my bodywork sorted out and painted up I know a guy who can make up some nice big RedBull vinyl stickers ;) |
Rattler, Did you buy those panels off e bay ! Also check out the misses Hello / OK mag as Tom Cruise is in there with a Carbon 999 Evo ! Ferrari |
I did and I will!!! Ta Tim |
That last pic Tim, are pretty much the colours spot on. But I want to split the colours how my bike is now... ![]() but have the silver instead of the yellow, then have a nicer, deeper blue. |
what with dirty patches and oil streaks...:puzzled: :P |
Kinda like this, but with blue where this is black? ![]() Tim:frog: |
That's it Tim. Just gotta get off my arse and sort it out though :D Lil, I think I may do away with the dirty patches, holes and scratches. At least for one trackday anyway :lol: |

I've still got that fibreglass repair kit if you need anything patched up - I'm sure I owe you a few favours! |
Yeah you do owe me a few. I'll bring over my crap panels and you can give them back to me looking pristine. Sound fair? :D :P Seriously though, most of the major holes are sorted. It's more a case of making it all smooth again. |
Quote:
Well I've got plenty of filler left as well, so feel free to drop them round and I can sort them out. |
I may well do that. At least you know what you're doing with that stuff. Maybe one night in the week next week? |
No probs mate. Might pop in to see the boys at TecMoto on saturday if you fancy it? You know where we are anyway so drop them round any time. |
Was thinking of popping down there some time soon to see how they were getting on but I've got a wedding to go to this Saturday. |
Rattler, your bike looks the business!! - I had my ex - ZX6R painted pearl black by Padded Cell which looked great but I was forever touching it up (oh,er..) 'cos every little stone chip showed up flouro green! - Also people always assumed the reason I'd had it painted was because I'd lobbed it (it wasn't, it was because when I bought it new it was painted like a hideous stripy-green sweety).. Can you post some pictures of your carbon bodywork? |
The picture from Brands (with the wets on) is the carbon/kevlar bodywork. Its ex-Renegade 998RS stuff and is very light - it looks very strong too, but I don't want to test it!!! Tim [Edited on 20-8-2004 by Rattler] |
Give it to me, I'll test it :D |
I'd just like to add that I believe my 998 may have been the first of the black run of Dukes, from our man Barry... well on the board at least.... I know I went with the flow after 2 mates got their kits off him... How are those carbon panels going now anyway Tim? Saw Steve last week, with his shiny new 749R Sheep the lot of you!!! LOL!!! :lol: |
