    Hi all,

    Has anyone had a white RS sprayed black and replaced all of the decals to match? Something like black with red and white decals?

    I'm exploring the possibility and getting the bike sprayed is one thing but getting the decals to replace the current red and black ones might prove difficult.

    Thanks in advance.

    I would consider how the bike would look without decals. Sometimes completely smooth is the way to go.

    Ring round a couple of your local sign/vehicle graphics shops. If you can do some legwork and provide artwork files (needs to be a vector file, not a bitmap like .jpeg, .png etc) although they may have what you need already if they've done a similar job before. If we had the file or was supplied it we'd charge 20-30 quid for a pair of tank decals in vinyl cut.

    Mine has Matt tape over the coloured decals and a carbon low can. Looks good and stealthy (to me anyway .. ) so why not get it painted first . Then see . You can always cut out coloured paper and design your own and get made by a vinyl printer if you like the decals. Make it unique..

    OP you want to look for vehicle wrap products. 3M has a color graphic line. Like @ChasChas says, vehicle graphics shop is the ticket. However, do your research on the installer. It takes skill with razors and applying with no air bubble or lift. I heard horror stories of razor cuts into the paint on high end cars from bad installers.
