Custom paint?

[Morgan]

Hi all
I’m looking for inspiration and painting or wrapping my S10. The gray is just not doing it anymore. Is there anywhere on the form where people post photos of their Custom bikes? I’ve been searching but not finding much. Thanks

Google vinyl wraps for the Tenere. They're out there. Rattle can spray wrap is also an option. Don't like it once it's on. . . . just peel it off. Get bored with it. . . . just peel it off. Mine is the cobalt blue, so I'm not doing anything to mine.

I’ll check it out, thanks. Cobalt would have been my first choice. But the price was so good.

Yes I’ve always thought that if Yamaha would have put better paint jobs on these Super Tenere’s they would have sold waaaay better !!! I have actually been considering talking to a painter about my 2018 but so far haven’t done anything.

For me, one of the attractions of ADV bikes is the utilitarian look. ZERO chrome. Mostly black with modest color panels. I will confess I like the Yellow of the 2016's and the red of the 2015's but I would have been just as happy with the Satin Black on all of the color components.

Loved the appearance of my previous white one and my new grey bike is slowly growing on me

My top three in no particular order are the white with red speed blocks which was available in U.K. and the yellow and metallic red versions which were never available in U.K.
Mine? Mine is the 2017 blue version, (not the darker Cobalt).

I still love the blue wheels, but the more I see SkunkWork's gold ones. . . . They would go oh, so very good with the cobalt. That being said, I do agree with Wallkeeper. If you're going to use it as a dedicated adventure bike. . . . you don't want a pretty, high maintenance paint. Bed liner would be best. Since I'm not a real adventure rider. . . . cobalt blue it is.

While ugly, the matte chalk color on my ‘19 has zero paint wear after 23k, whereas my gloss blue ‘17 had noticeable wear in the clear coat on the tank where my knees rest at the time it hit 23k. I sold the ‘17 at 61k and that was my only real sign of wear. But honestly, who cares, if it has zero paint left at 100k I’m fine with that. Just saying the new ugly paint does hold up better.
