The black matte finish actually functions as a solar collector powering an auxilliary photon beam drive system.

Hi Dave,
      Go with the Yellow & highlight it with some Red !!
    This is an Aztek  yellow  colour as I wanted something bright after getting nail by a left turn K car in 01. It gets noticed.
              Cheers Ken

What colour yellow has everyone used? Crazyjimmy?
Probably to buy an off the shelf mix so can be toutched up later?
Would it be best to POR your tank before of after a spay job? i've yet to do my tank.

Cheers

When i had my bike yellow i used "sun yellow" from home depot.   blue can, had like a scene of a porch or something on it.


Brightest and most distinct yellow i could find without paying 100+ for automotive paint.


It mixed real well and did a pretty good job too.  just make sure you put a nice enamel on it.


Infact the blue i used on my bike now was the same brand.

Only thing is on mine i didnt coat it with a good quality enamel so the paint came up around my gas cap and there are marks where the bike was tied down while moving.
