Has anyone repainted their GS in the SE colours ?

I like the old silver, before the ADV and with the old graphics.
it was decent paint and laquered too.

At some stage I would like to add the original stickers to my range,there will come a time when 1150/1100 owners may want to restore their steeds to original looking and mothball them for posterity,or am I thinking of Johnnyboxer :augie

twowheelhumvee of this parish can do the decals for ya:thumb2 and yes you have to notify VOSA:thumb2

Cheers for the heads up :thumb2

Replied to your pm Onahi :thumb2
 
Got your reply Steve:thumb

So, It's Alpine white in satin finish, can anyone tell me the blue ? for the seat cover...

Are the BMW badges simply stuck on ? (the round tank BMW badge)

Thanks.

Looks good & extra marks for colour matching your garage too :D
 
That looks great Nigel. :thumb2

The white paintwork looks very deep and rich if you see what I mean.
 
Cheers Guys.:thumb2 Im very pleased with it. It is the BMW Alpine white, done by a specialist. Worth the money. Shame it's gunna sit in the garage now for the winter:(
Pussy arn't I !:D

And after putting it all back together, i only had one spare washer on the floor !!!! Oh yeah, colour coded garage now too:aidan
 
I see you have some leaves left on the floor that match the original colour though.

I think I prefer red, red and white. I might do mine like the blue/white GS pattern, but with red white instead, just to be ockard.

All white looks a bit aneamic to me. The decals break it up, but it is a bit too white for my liking - the important thing though, is DO YOU LIKE IT?

That's funny, I was going post a thread about what is the most suitable colour for a GS.

I like the old silver, before the ADV and with the old graphics.
it was decent paint and laquered too.

I may change my SE to that one day or a deep strong red with black seat.

Can't blame you for wanting to change from monkey piss yellow or mandarin as you call it...yellow bikes are for folk from Essex:thumb

MONKEY PISS ?!! ESSEX ?!!! :(:eek

Outraged of Bath:spitfire
 
Thanks Guys for all the replies:thumb This has really made my mind up. It's going to be my winter project.
