Tricolore 996
Thinking of painting an extra set I got from Michael with the 2007 Tricolore look on my 996. I am NOT painting the Bayliss green on the nose and tail, so wanted to see what you think of just the fairings painted.[IMG]  Hosted on Fotki[/IMG]

Lower the white to start just below the side opening and have the whole bottom/belly pan a slightly darker green and see how that looks.

The small white strip looks strange, so I put it all the way to the top. Needs a Ducati sticker or something at the top.

I think I like the first one the best. It reminds me of a body kit that was sold on eBay for a while, though (red and silver, IIRC).

You could always paint it up like mine was when I bought it (images below).
Only the lowers on the farings were painted and the tail piece appears to be manufactured in these colors (not painted over). I don't know where the former owner aquired it.
It has since been returned to stock appearance (though I still have the tric painted parts decorating my garage so I can now swap back and forth at will.
