What paint scheme on my superjet?

[wjelmer]

I have a 1998 Superjet and the factory paint is all tore up. What do you guy think I should do?

Here is a pic of what I thought woul dlook cool but kind of looks funny.

Would like to leave the back blue like in my illustration but yellow and gray are up in the air.

What do you guys think?

If the yellow and gray switched positon I think it would look OK.
That said I'm not a huge fan of yellow.

instead of blue do lime green... and instead of the yellow do lime green there too

i mean hey its just my preference




check out some sweet crazer fx paint or 3 stage paint.. it might be costly but you will only need one color to impress...

Personally, I dont like the yellow mixed in there..doesn't seem like yellow and grey go together very well..might just be me however.

 

[wjelmer]

so you guys dont like the yellow what would you use there thought about white but didnt look right either.

Thanks for the input

I like simple things. I am a huge fan of white because its simple..but if you are going to due multiple colors I would personally try to keep them of the same nature..like either all darks or all lights. By this I mean replace the yellow with black and keep it all darks...Thats just me though. There are some colors such as black and green that go together great.

It looks funny because you have two light colors right next to each other. (Plus it's not a real picture with shiny paint...) Recommendation: Either replace the grey with a darker color, like black, or separate the two with a dark colored line.

make the blue black

or the blue green................
depends on the shade.............

I agree with yamaslut. Make the blue black. Then take your yellow stripe and shrink it down to a 3/4" stripe. Then make all of your reg. numbers and sticker work yellow. Just use the yellow for a accent color.
That is basically what I'm doing, but I'm using red as my accent color.

1st post has the templates. Paint it again with a better template.

 

[tipafew]

You don't have to go all the way down to a 3/4" stripe after looking at it. You could narrow the band of yellow up slightly and add some shape to it. It could be wider toward the from and get narrower as you go up/back with it.

how about this?

Ya, that looks decent.. If you have the right amount of yellow, black and grey, it looks great IMO, but I always like yellow on my skis.

Here's my latest paint job i did on my RN this summer.

Wjelmer,

Since you would like to leave some blue and want some yellow, here is how I painted my square back in 93. You could do yellow spikes or something on the OEM Superjet atomic blue. A bright ellow on blue would stand out well and look awesome IMO, then you could outline it with darker grey or something, that would look cool.
I still have this ski today(1990 squarenose). Its the 113th Superjet ever made!:bigok: Bought new on May 20, 1991 for $3,420.
The first pic is when I first painted it in 93, the second and third are what it looks like today..

Good luck,
