I'm with ya, that green really looks good. Dust off the paint gun and let 'er rip. Could you show an R in that color?  (Message edited by usmoto on May 11, 2009) | ||

That green is awesome. Froggy, could you do the same but with the Thrust Blue from the 2005 Lightning? Please? | ||

Not really a fan of green, but it looks OK, I guess. Looks more like the Hulk than a lobster that way. | ||

Froggy - can you do a CR in "Golden Teal Metallic"? It's a GM paint color used on the HHR, Equinox and Vibe. It plays with the light some, but here's some pictures of it: http://www.chevyhhr.net/forums/showthread.php?p=15 8929 | ||

  How about that? I am not to sure about the lightness of the color, it seems to vary a bit from photo to photo. I am working on Thrust Blue, it seems to be a bit stubborn and is ending up purpleish. (Started with a Red CR + mix in blue = purple!) As for getting the R in that color I will give that a try too, its a bit more work as I got to make up a new template, vs the CR I now just press 1 button to switch | ||

Looks great, Froggy. That's pretty much the color. I asked for photoshops of a teal CR before, but I got blindingly bright teal which didn't good at all. I think that's much better. Can you post up the source file with the stock red caliper and wheel stripes? I'd like to put those on this one... | ||

 Thats about as close as I can get to Thrust Blue without it looking like Barney. | ||

This is the image I started with: http://image.superstreetbike.com/f/sport-bike-news /new-metal/10015829+cr1+re0+ar1/buell-1125cr.jpg | ||

The Thrust Blue is awesome. Can you send that to Mr. Buell for me now please? Thanks Froggy | ||

Buy a CR, go out of your way to customize it and make it unique. Be the only one around with your color combo. Erik will see it on here, and say "Damn, we need to make the 2009 version look exactly like that". 3 months later I receive a kick in the balls and end up having to go back to the drawing board to look unique again | ||

Here's what I'm thinking. Might do that this summer...  | ||

where do i get the program to photo shop? | ||
| Froggy |
http://www.getpaint.net/ Its free, not quite as good as photoshop, but I did all the above in it. | ||

Hey Froggy, Could you do an R in that green color? I'm really diggin' the green. | ||
| Scubarc51 |

That green is pretty wild. If you can get past the fact that it screams kawasaki, I think it would look great in person. | ||
| Froggy |
 No, THAT screams Kawasaki  What I am suprised at is how well the colors match up, I didn't retouch it! | ||
| Jersey_thunder |
 THATS JUST WRONG !!!! | ||
| Usmoto |
That green R is awesome. May be some paint plans in the future. Thanks Froggy. | ||

Any chance you can do the same green from a 08 blue powdercoated frame? Thanks, | ||
| Froggy |
The main reason I did an 09 was because the red plastics are easier to play with than black. I will give it a shot and try and work my magic | ||
| Froggy |
 | ||
| Pittsburgh_guy |
Still looks good, but not as good as the black. | ||
| Buell2001b |
no, no to make a buell look like a Ninja is a downgrade. let kawi keep that green | ||
| Joebuell |
how about a molten orange CR with nuke blue wheels? you'd be my hero. | ||
| Delta_one |
would you mind throwing together a CR with riser bars in black with red wheels? maybe a air scoop elimination? or my dream... add a lightning tail too? I know I'm sick, I like the cheese grater. (Message edited by delta_one on May 31, 2009) |
