Help with MC paintjob.

Well I am not that good in selecting colours that match each other.

So I have a red frame on my monster and would like it to stay that way.

What colour can I do the rims, tank, seat cowl with red frame?

I had white so bored of that, I have Senna Grey that is out as well, do not like black with red frame and do not want red.

I know I know but I have no idea and I like red frame.

"red and green should never be seen except upon a fool"

i,d go green.

Are you thinking aesthetically pleasing, classic, lairy or don't care too much??

Primary colours .. blue or yellow

Complementary would be some kind of mid dark green
Analogous would be some kind of orange or purple

I quite like orange, you can go for a natural look by having a dimply paint finish LOL else yellow

slob · 21-03-2015, 09:55 PM

yellow, light blue or silver?

Silver Titanium kind of works:

Just google "Ducati Red Frame Images" and spend half a day going through them all

I (and I'm sure like many others) are very fond of the classic orange & blue Gulf colour scheme. Here's one showing how cool it looks from an old thread. Not a massive fan of the bike but like the colour scheme as you know it's a custom paint job - rather than a traditional Ducati colour.

I was thinking gulf colours but they have orange instead of red but now the photo below it actually looks good.

Gulf blue, red frame, red stripe still not decided if red/black or blue rims for that.

I like that as well.

I know you sad you don'y want red wheels, but how about red spokes and polished rims?

The red/silver paintjob works well with red frame on this too IMO

This custom (Roland Sands) Diavel Red/Grey combo looks pretty sexy too

Get a new tank made in Ally and have the 'Ducati' decals in red to match the frame.

utopia · 22-03-2015, 12:42 AM

I was going to suggest that a mid/dark green would have undertones of the Hailwood/Sports Motorcycles bikes of the 70s.
But I never really liked that scheme myself.

The red/silver tank looks spot on with the red frame.
And an ally tank would/could have the same look.

I'm not a fan of red myself, though I can appreciate it from a distance.

Blue can look nice as an accent colour for red. Depends on how you want the red to appear either as a main colour or as an accent.

Find yourself a colour wheel
