Cool project. There are several good colours to choose from. However, some of the colours are too much like car-colours, if you know what I mean. Remember that this is a Triumph, not an old US-made hot-rod.

Oh, and good luck. Remember to post a picture of the result!

Greetings,
Thor

I agree with Thor on the "car colors".

With a blacked out engine etc, I'd think some kind of yellow or red would look good (For that sake, orange too - but may be too KTM'ish...?)
Maybe the Triumph Scorched yellow..?

Silver is a classic color for bikes. Also, what about the old Triumph racing blue from back in the day?



The "Real #9" passes Harley's #9 in this pic.

I dunno...If I was painting it anything else besides black, I'd look at spending a little more money and go for some type of cool custom paint job. Someone made a good point about these looking like car colors. That midnight blue pearl looks OK though.

One of the blues for me, but the color rendition on my LCD screen isn't good enough to pick. I voted for one of the choices on the list, though.
