Re: Repainted my Blackbird white
The job looks great (new paint is always nice) the choice of colour for me does not work at all but too each their own, now get some slip ons or a pipe on that XX!

Interesting how opinions vary - I think the bird should have been offered in pearl white, it looks so good in it.

Re: Repainted my Blackbird white
Amazing. I really rate that colour on the bird!!!

I've always like the deep red too, but I ended up with a blue one. I've been thinking about re-painting it red... but now you've got me thinking white...

Is it hard to keep clean?

I didn't mean that in a bad way. The bike looks great, you just can't really see the pearl in the photos. It looks more of a gloss white.

Aah, its NOT any pearl/flakes or anything... Just standard Honda championship white NH-0
Just to make life a bit easier if i scratch anything on a trackday? Not as much of a problem to repaint one piece to match the rest. And cheaper too

Looks good. However, I'm surprised no one has commented on the dichotomy posed here - a "white" Blackbird... hummm. I'm sure some psychiatrist would enjoy playing with this thought...
