08 r1200 gsa repaint

[lgsand]

I have a Magma Red r1200GSA on order. I am scurrying around collecting bits and pieces to kit it out from TT, Wunderlich and Best Rest Products. The factory colours leave me uninspired so I plan to repaint in a sand colour that the afrika korp used perhaps colour match mudguard etc. Have ordered declas from Humvee. I thought while waiting for the bike I would order the beak, tank cover and the aluminium side covers and have them painted up. That way when it comes to trade (not likely-I still have every bike I have have owned in 30 years) I would have a fresh set of factory red plastics. Can anyone tell me what parts I need to buy for the 08 GSA - is it just the three painted bits?

Basically it will be the beak, tank panel and the 2 side covers, just strikes me though that it would be more economic to paint the parts on the bike and buy a set of panels if you need them for trade in purposes, would save storage as well.

Sounds a lot like the Magnesium Matt colored R1200GSA GSA. Oops !

Thanks for the feedback guys and the photos. I tried to photoshop some different colours but ended up with a mess.
