Falco paint job

#1 Post by Tonyunn » Tue Feb 26, 2013 2:34 pm

Someone posted some pictures of a set of specials, I grabbed one of the blue and white ones but I would like to look a them again can anyone help me locate them.
The ones I mean consist of a blue and white scheme plus various others.

Any ideas, I think the artist may have been in a wheel chair if that narrows it down,

Some nice ideas there. I like the nero-argento-blu, but I'd have the lines coming to a point instead of the swirls. And the nero-bianco 2 is really nice.

Does anyone know how much it would cost to get someone to paint all the fairings? Just so I can add it to the wish list.

How much do you want to pay is probably the honest answer !
Print out your fave ones and go armed with said print out to reputable spray shops !

I'd second that. Your bike looks great, Tony. To get it repainted would be an act of vandalism, IMHO...

I have no intention of changing the bike I just liked the picture, I needed to test an A3 colour laser printer I was setting up and that seemed like a good test.

I am more than happy with the state of mine, if you look at e-bay intact Falcos's are getting rarer by the day. :smt003

Thats nice but IMO looking from rear to front, the fairing black/white should follow the same line as the tank.
I'd also be very happy if mine was metallic blue and as tidy as yours Tony !
