also if anyone ever wants the blank image for their own fairing design here it is
i searched the web for a plain white RC51 for ages to edit and gave up so made my own. |
Screw what the others think and go with what you want......its your bike after all. I don't see anything wrong with what you are going with and think it all works out fairly well. Pretty sure you'll be the only one in the world with this scheme on their RC.
Keep the gold and try to put a little some of it in a style like you have on the tank down around the side front edge where the white and black meet. Maybe something in the middle of the 2 black parts, or a nike type style where the thick part starts on the leading edge of the fairing and tapers back to a point at around 6-12 inches. Basically like something you did on the tank but upside down from that. This should pull in the gold from the calipers and if you have the gold forks it''l all come together real well.
Only other thing i can see is you may want to try to get the design/lines on the side fairing to roll in the tail a bit better. I know it may be difficult with the way you have to pull the black all the way down to go around the rad vent. But maybe you could shrink the PB name and run the lines so they end up going through the vent which will free up more room for you to take the lines off the tail straight through to the front of the bike. Or another option would be to leave everything as is but to have a slight curve/arch to the paint lines so they end up melding into the lines on the tail. This may work as the bike has quite a few rounded proportions as well.
Oh, and i'd forget about the top of the tank being black and white. I see you're trying to follow paint line from the side, but i serious doubt it will look like anything decent from the top. Plus your painter is going to hate you for having them try to get that right. The fuel cap is going to be going right through there. It would be easiest, and probably better asthetically(sp?) to keep the very top of the tank black instead of trying to break it into 2 colors. You'll be having white on the lower part of the tank anyway and that should be plenty. Anything else makes it all look to busy.
