The Aero 50 is up and running (expect to see a review in the next few weeks), but the paint is really tired so I'm thinking of changing things up a bit.

The three options I'm thinking of right now, in order starting with my favorite are... (edit: why won't kinja let me post pictures?)

1. Rising Sun: Because it would be awesome and JDM

Basically paint the whole scooter white, and paint a rising sun across the front fairing

2. Frankenstrat: Because 80's

3. Respol: because why the fuck not?

So what does oppo think, right now I'm leaning pretty heavily toward the rising sun paint. Anyone got any other ideas?

Stars and Stripes. Because 'Murica.

But then i'd have to install a speaker system that constantly blasts the "America" song from team america world police. I don't think the tiny electrical system could handle the stress.

I think red with heavy black lines around all of the seams and edges. It will make it look almost illustrated.

Something understated, plus add chrome fluting?

Not to mention the bull horns on the front, flag holster on the rear, keg, grill, cup (and freedom fry) holder and TV you'll have to put on it.

I had to google what frankenstrat is. I think it's the best idea out of those three. Also, for extra ideas think about something Japanese fighter plane or woodblock print inspired.

Midnight Purple. Because it looks good on everything.

8-bit paint scheme?

This might work well considering I'm thinking of entering it in Group A PSRA (Pacific Scooter Racing Association) racing.

I do love the color (both of my cars are Midnight Blue/Purple), but I don't really want a stealthy color on something so small. Cars have enough trouble seeing me in it's current red. Color on 2-wheeled contraptions has to be loud, for safety.

I wish I had the skills to pull off some woodblock print style livery. Now a Mitsubishi Zero style paint job is something I might be able to do...

Ohh, that's pretty. Though it would make me feel bad about dragging the body on the ground from going too deep into a lean. She has about half the available lean angle of my sport bike which necessitates a racing line through almost every corner.

That would certainly save me money on paint colors...
