Old style - on the frame, not the tank.

i do like the black fill with white stripes alot.  that would probably work better than red, but finding someone that makes that sticker will be hard, but ill make it happen if i decide to do that.

just have the painter paint the logo on

and monsterlove,  i did the stripes myself and i dont care if you copy me.  its just spray paint and i taped off one side and did the other.   the only problem with the spray paint is that it will fade over time if its out in the sun.

Pm eichh, he did some custom work for me that came out amazing. He's a board member and a very talented vinyl artist.

Old Style - everything else is too busy on an already busy paint job.  But I agree with keeping the black/white theme - no red

[lauramonster]

I agree - stay with the black & white.  I like the paint job, I like the ducati white stripes.  Just not together.  I think it's that the stripes are natural, not to any prescribed order, and the ducati logo is too regimented.

Can the painter throw in some chaos?  Like the black & white ducati logo undulates, or crinkles a little?  Just something to break up the seriousness and to give it a little mayhem

OR

put the logo not on the zebra stripe.  Roy's idea sounds intruiging (frame).  I'd have to see it, but i think it would look good.

Post up pics after you decide.

I probably don't know what I'm talking about, as I can't find a picture of it... But isn't there an old Duc symbol that looks like the meccanica, except it's just one large wing with Ducati inside it?  I think one of the guys on this forum has it as his signature.    I like that.

Also, if you can be talked out of the stripes...

that would probably look good,  the frame is pretty small and narrow but i could put it on the side panels under the seat.

i know the one youre talking about but ive never seen it as a sticker or emblem.  the only way ive seen it is in that picture. 

the stripes are staying though.  ive been known as the "zebra ducati" for 3 years now and i dont know if i could deal with changing that now.  maybe i need to get another one and keep it a normal color.

All I'm saying is.... Go look at a thread called "Rattle Can Paint Job"
http://ducatimonsterforum.org/index.php?topic=10356.0


There is  no reason to be hemmed in, or feel obligated to a paint job.  If you love it, keep it.  If you want a change, change.   people will still come to your business to look at your "new" Ducati.
