Graphics and plastic colour (color)

Anyone got any pics of people who used different color (u) plastics to graphics, I’m trying to persuade a friend not to make the mistake but couldn’t find an example 

Cheers

Nobody wants to show off that kind of mistake. It's no wonder you couldn't find any pictures.

Perhaps an example of what he wants to do would garner  attention .

Sometimes You can get a way with black or white plastic on a design that uses a color that is unavailable for that bike. But You need to design around that or it will in my opinion look like a mistake.   Plastic color matching the base color of the graphics is a basic rule . 

 

 I think that the number of views VS replies should tell Your buddy all he needs to know. Nobody is saying its OK.

I tried it on my Kawi. Couldn’t get the green to match the Flo plastics, so there is actually no green in the graphics at all. Just clear

Can you provide an example of what your buddy is wanting to do?

Hey guys, this is interesting topic. As it was mentioned it's a must to have matching plastics color for plastics. But, it also depends on a design style. During the years, we saw some nice examples when customers send us feedback with photo of their bike when they use different plastics color to what we recommend. Sometime you can get away with it, like here for example

I made quick example for you. I'm not sure which version of Rockstar Graphics your friend wants to use. But, tell him to not do it like that. Either use white plastics for this kind of design or cuszomize Graphics with Fluo color to match plastics.
