Colour scheme

Originally the side fairings I planned to just spray black, but a friend had given me some left over anthracite coloured vinyl wrap, so I decided to give the stuff ago to add some colour variation to the black.

Vinyl wrap, i found to be infuriatingly hard to get good finish with no air bubbles on such an undulating surface as a motorcycle fairing but i think after a lot of tested patience i achieved a pretty good result.

With the result i achieved i really like the anthracite colour on the bike but i felt the change from black to anthracite was a little harsh between the front cowl and side fairings and so thought to use some design to blend the two. My idea was to to have a checkered flag effect to blend the two colours and so had a fading checkered flag decal made up.
