Colour scheme programmes for motorcycles ?
« on: January 24, 2022, 12:29:26 PM »
A few years ago Mini & I think VW had a website for folk ordering a new vehicle where you could choose interior trim and exterior body colours and see what they would look like.

Does anyone know of a similar system for motorcycles where you can look at different combinations of frame , wheels & body panel paint colours on a CAD type system. I've looked at a lot of bike colours on Pininterest etc just wondered if anyone knows of such a site for bikes. Does not have to be for Honda just to get a handle on different colours.

I've PM'd Laverdaroo who has given me some interesting ideas - if all else fails I have a friend who might be able to photo shop my bike with different colour options.

This is a neat 500 restoration in the USA.

Well, not exactly what you are looking for but I've been working on a library of colours for years now.
Far from complete...

Triumph have a program on their website to 'design your own bike' It's limited to their models, available colours and accessories but might give you an idea.
