Hi all,

I have been reading about various color options and trims in many of your rebuild threads and would like to contribute to this forum a tool that I developed for previewing color options.
I have used a 1979 Suzuki GS850 G as my base photo ( I have an 1980). Feel free to use and provide your suggestions here.
How to use:
Drag and move the Red, Green and Move tabs to see the tank colour change. If you want to enable/disable addons such as Emblems, stickers, engine paint, then press the appropriate button.
Try it now.Paint your Suzuki!!

UPDATE: PRINT FUNCTION DOES NOT WORK PROPERLY. PLEASE DONT USE IT. I WOULD BE REMOVING THAT BUTTON.

Its made in Adobe Flash.

Love it! Wanting to paint mine dark green, looks good! terrylee
 
Would there be a way to translate the colr on the screen to a form a paint shop could reproduce?

Great way to try it out.

One way would be to take print out on a color printer and try to match the color in the paint shop. Thats pretty close that we can get. But ideally these colors may not match as it depends on your monitor settings. Good luck!
 
This was a fun tool to use. Now it just needs a "chrome fender on/off" button for us L guys. Thanks for putting this up here.
 
That is friggin awesome...
now if you take it farther and offer OEM paint variations then it would be god like.

Update: I added feature to display Chrome fenders. Check them out. I am trying to get OEM color buttons once I get to know what color trims were available.

Holy crap, I was only half serious. Thanks though, it will be very useful.

No problem. I actually had a chrome fender picture on that 79 850. So it was easy to display the option to enable/disable them!

Now how about a chrome rear fender option?

Rear chrome is tough to create as my baseline photo did not have one. Send a sample photo that has rear fender and I shall see what can be done.
 
This is really cool!
I was just thinking of trying something like this, except from overhead. I want to see what my bike would look like if I put racing stripes lengthwise along the top of the tank, from front to back.

Very cool work.

Ram,

Why not add the RGB (probably wouldn't hurt to add CMYK) numbers that correspond to the color on screen. Printers are notoriously inaccurate (as are monitors). But taking those numbers to the print shop they should be able to help focus the color choice better than a crappy inkjet print out.

My guess is that at least the RGB output should be fairly easy as that's just outputting the values set in the sliders.
