ok i have been slowley getting my parts to gether and now have a complete set of body work and all new decals now here is the problem. i dont like/have had bad luck with both red & black motorcycles.(been hit by cars etc.) my 750 paso is blue & my bmw is silver. i am seriously thinking of painting it silver it has black wheels & frame the decals are black & white. Now i will put on my fire suit LOL and let me know what you think

Sounds good to me. Paso design would look great in silver. Pinstripe or 2 maybe. Impression via paintshop would be nice.

Well, there was a grey Paso, and there was a grey and black 750 Sport which would give you some styling cues. I think a nice metal flake silver would show off the Paso's lovely body work much better than a red does (IMHO) I think a few red pinstripe details would pull it all together. Painting the vents black would be nice I think. If you have someone with Photo Shop or a similar product, you can take a few photos of Pasos and alter them to your new design before you commit to paint.

Sounds good to me, as long as you are keeping it in the same era that it was built.
You could add a few Raiders Logos too.

it would look like this.

Yeah, that's it. Now add a few complimentary darker accents like on the ST.
For ease, just use the ST color codes. After all, the the next configuration of the Paso was the ST. You could build the bridge model that never really existed, but should have. Borrow a few styling cues from both models.

I would suggest getting ST wheels while you are at it. Basically same wheels and size, just a complimentary color to the Silver. All your rotors and sprockets fit right up. Buying used wheels is probably cheaper than have your wheels painted, and they are probably lighter. (ST had 25mm axles, but the SS and Monster had axles same/similar to the 907, so you have that challenge) Those white wheels on a silver paint job will look like an Elvis impersonator at noon in June. Not proper for a Ducati.

Cheers,
Phil

i think i like the silver thanks for the pic,s. i have some grey black 906 pinstripe & a complete decal kits for both 750 & 907 paso.s should be able to make somthing work.a color matching corbin saddel and a conti exaust. i think my plans are firming up

this one seems to be two tone silver

Nice photography. Certainly shows off the great Paso body work. Kinda like baby oil on a dancer.
But those white wheels are bugging me.

Cheers,

i have the black wheels. i think i am going to paint the lower part black to match. & i am considering useing 750 paso pin stripes & ducati labels with the elephant there a lot smaller than 907 ones and the 907 badges
i realy like the corbin seat shown on the two tone silver bike in this thread.my seat needs work anyway.

i am going to have to get going on the project very soon i had to rent a storage bin to get the other bikes out of my shop to make room to work

Might be worth a trip to the auto painter for a look thru his paint catalogue .... for a little inspiration
