If you don't want to paint it, put some DUCATI decals on the tank, as OE. In either red or white.

Give us a pic of the whole bike so we can see the carbon to paint ratio and placement

We could have a vote

I really think its going to need paint though TP
but I am thinking of maybe some sort of GT black stripe down the middle ?

I agree it needs some kind of paint - but don't go for a GT stripe, it'll make it look like a Mini or some kind of Maxpower car!
IMHO it's gotta be a plain colour - I've seen 9*6's that have had paintjobs on them that try to pick out the lines of the tank etc but they just look ****. (since when has s h 1 t been a censored word??)

Paint it black but leave the carbon showing through the Ducati lettering - boring I know, but at least it looks tasteful.

Well I may have to have another change of colour.
as hard as it is for me to except
I may have to go RED
the black has been great. but I want to leave some carbon on show with this tank and it wont work in the black
also resale values are best with red items I believe.
so keep your eyes pealed as the bike will take on a new shade in the spring

Hi Keffer,
I've just bought anouther putt putt from Wilf at Moto Rapido and noticed that he has just got in a load of Ducati corse parts including mag top yokes etc etc which he is selling at keen prices as for your paint finish,i noticed that Casoli's paint specialist have a way of applying colour but still seeing the weave under it.

I thought that we are all supposed to be reducing our carbon emmisions......
