hey guys...just bought my F4 and this is how she looks right now...the price was right and was all mechanically n physically sound....i'm not a fan of the particular paint scheme...but its getting prepped and ready for a new paint job and some other new goodies...some pics beside my buddies r6 which was also recently bought...both r gonna go through some major changes...hope to learn lots from you guys...cheers

*Update*
Sorry guys on the long wait - I had the repaint done 2 days ago and just took pics of the fairings last nite and they have yet to be put on...i'm still awaiting oem black decals and then going over with two more coats of clear coat to give it the extra shine...the color i went with is pearl white...to be exact is the pearl white seen on the Lexus IS350....here's what the bike look like before with the copper orange:

and here are the fairings and bike naked...the lighting and the camera do NOT give the actual paint justice....the blue is my friends freshly painted r6 fairings

And the messy workstation (no i didn't paint the fairings in here - was done professionally)

I thought about painting my bike white, but wasn't sure how it would look with the silver frame. The f4i's have a black frame which I think would go better with a light color. With that said, white does look nice though!

I'd go with a gunmetal finish and red accents. Or take some cues from the Raven edition R1/R6, my favorite factory scheme hands down from any bike company.

If you could get the frame/snwingarm done, go black and do white plastics.
