Color of stripes

[Hans-Olof Blom]

It is time for ERA 696 to go to the paint shop.

It will be painted red (Honda R51) with white stripes.

Should the stripes be Wimbledon White or just plain white?

I went with the plain white and have heard of some stripes that have a touch of the body colour in them.

The Wimbeldon white is a little more cream.

Perhaps try a little of each on a card and lay it on the body see what looks better...

i agree with bernie. it is an important decision. so make sure you are going to get what you really want.

get a sample of some metal painted the honda red and then lay a sample of a white / white and a wimbledon white next to it.

i have the SPF red with bright white stripes. my white stripes look pale next to the creamy look of a wimbledon white. two distinctly /vastly different hues of white , which could also affect the appearance of the red . some accents might turn the red more orange red and others might make it appear more blue red.

having the paint mixed and samples painted would be the cheapest $75-$100 you spend on your paint job. bill.
