What color is this 250?

Chubbs032 · July 8th, 2010, 07:47 PM

I saw this 250 here a while back, but couldn't find the post. What color was this, I think it was a spray can job. I like it., props to the owner.

Chubbs032 · July 8th, 2010, 08:00 PM

its the real deal....

rear seat cover, left of the pad.

looks like sun glare to me....well I swear i remember reading something about titanium something out of a spray paint can.

I thought it looked cool, was thinking of trying it.

Looks like a 'gunmetal grey.' I wouldn't know the exact paint color to look for.
It can also be done in a matter of seconds in Photoshop. My gut tells me it's a 'shop.

EDIT: the 247R sticker also looks like it could be shopped in, but the NRA sticker is definitely there, and that would explain the gunmetal color. Also, there appears to be some residual blue in the shadow underneath the handlebar.

I remember seeing a photoshop series of this bike also in teal and pink. I'd say either Gunmetal or Anthracite. Looks slick though, even if it is 'shopped

How would you use photo shop to change the colors?

Looks more like it was actually painted and not shopped to me. Looking at the way the sun reflects off of the front fender, the lay of the shadows from various parts of the bike, the reflection of the handlebar on the side (the part someone thought was blue is really isn't) all lead to the conclusion it was painted and not shopped. It looks to be gun metal gray like suggested with a glossy finish that you can only see on the fender because of the lighting.

Cool color though.

Is that a 600?
