I like it too - would go well on my Hexhead. Reminds me of the old Martini Porsche colour schemes which I loved at the time.

The paintwork looks brilliant and the skills to do it way out of my ability but that is one hideous colour scheme on a GSA - in my humble opinion of course!
Everyone's entitled to their opinion fella. It'd be a dull old world if we all liked the same things!
Eventually it is revealed. Dammit it looks good.
And it's no reflection on your superb skills, of course. It's not even the colours really - the GSA from the side is a bit busy with bits of plastic and metal here there and everywhere. Now that scheme on something with a fairing, like an RR or a K1300S - lovely!
And the cylinder covers!
Picture of it here....

Why don't you have a little think on it.....and we can have a chat when I see you....
I don't see the black tank idea I'm afraid. Too much black IMHO. Each time I do a custom'ish paint job for someone I always spend a bit of time doing a kind of consultation. I usually spend most of that time talking them OUT of painting too much as it's very easy to get carried away and want everything painted with stripes here and swages of colour there etc.
I agree that the tank would look great black if the scheme was graphite grey or even red but to have all those black plastics, black engine, black wheels and have those bright panels sitting on top of them wouldn't work, you'd then have to paint the pillion plate black to match .... then the pannier rails ....... then the engine bars .......
Trust me when I say, the trick is knowing when to stop!

Yeah, what's that all about? BMW make an engine with either a silver or black finish and the head covers are... dark grey
I see where you're coming from with the black tank.
