What we ended up with is something that leaves a natural, subdued impression yet is prominent enough to add obvious aesthetic value to the bike. Here I created an earthy effect on this gas tank. Also notice the subtle, single tone design – the light blue is noticeable enough to add flare to the bike without going stylistically “overboard.” Even when the motorcycle is in full-stop, the design leads us to believe it is still blasting through space. In this next design, you’ll notice that we covered a decent portion of the front fender with a sharp pattern that implies motion. Motorcycles are synonymous with aerodynamics, speed and motion – highlighting these features is what we’re going for. Here my client wanted to enhance the presence of his bike without looking too “gaudy.” Together, they blend into a nuanced design that adds just the right amount of pop. The second color, black, stands above it.
The first color, the reddish-orange hue, is an almost perfect match to the color of the fender. In the next image, I created a tight symmetrical pattern with a two-toned harmony.
Motorcycle Pinstriping and Nuanced Expression Also note subtle yet distinguishable color harmony. In the neighboring image, note how the symmetrical design guides with the curvature of the rear fender – this way, bike and design both work to compliment each other. It adds definition to your bike with a streamlining effect. Notable about this popular style is its abstractness, balance and color coordination. The old school pinstriping style is what you are seeing in the images here. I hand-paint my designs, typically in an “old school” style, to enhance a motorcycle’s overall appearance. As a striper for over 32 years, motorcycle pinstriping has always been a speciality of mine.
