Colour schemes

Tomorrow I am going to Mac#1to place my order for a shiny new ZX10R Worx kit and I can't wait.

Just one problem though, I really can't decide on a colour scheme. I am a Kawasaki fan and believe that a Kawasaki should always be green. But .......... I don't just want to build another green and black car. Not that there is anything wrong with them, in fact I really like them, but I just want to be a little different. I have thought about perhaps building a green and black but then getting a full Kawasaki race rep decal kit on it, designed to fit the car. Or perhaps look to incorporate an old Kawasaki bike paintwork design in to it with professional decals, like the green white and blue of either the 1990's ZXR750's (one of my favourite bikes ever) or maybe the Eddie Lawson type schemes.

Anybody got any good design ideas or designs they want to share / show to give me some inspiration?

Or is anyone able to mock me up some designs on photoshop or something if I give them some pictures / designs for guidance?

Just to bring a bit of further info to this thread, here are the initial designs that me and my friend have come up with. He is a wizard on Photoshop. My favourite one at the moment is the top one, although it will still need some further tweaking to get it just how I want it, and to also design the front and back designs.

If it was your photo that I have used for the basis of the design work, then I apologise for not asking if I could use it or not, but I just found it when searching the web and couldn't see who it belonged to (in the original photo the car was originally white with "ZX10R Evolution IV" wrote down the side of it, and with white wheels and a pea green rollcage).

Note that the rollcage, wheels, and mudguards will in real-life be a glossy black but it was just hard to get the realistic look on the car when using a proper glossy deep black. They just look a bot matt in the photoshopped images below.

So what do you think?

Personally i think the last one looks best, but I'm not a massive fan of writing on road cars. Funny to see the link to pistonheads, I'm thinking of doing a martini colour scheme, although more subtly than the one at the end of that link.

You could always go back to the 80's and do a red and black , like the old GPZ models.
