i hoped potential buyers would like it better now that it's one color. I am broke and i'm having a kid so i need monies...but the longer i keep the bike the more i don't want to sell it. It just sounds soo knarley! Its also cool having something not as common as a busa, harley, or mid 90s 600...

 

I prefer the white. Black, especially glossy, is very difficult to paint so that it looks good. If you get any runs or inconsistent layers, it looks like crap. White looks good from afar, and even close it is difficult to notice flaws in the paint.
The downside is that it gets dirty faster.

 

+1...i was debating on spraying the rear white as opposed to the front black. I think white bikes, when done right, look sick. Flat white sucks though...i dunno how confident i am in spraying a gloss paint out of a can. Or even a clear coat from a can...never done it...wuz scurred.

 

If it were me and I was trying to sell it I'd invest a couple hundred bucks & get it sprayed by a body shop, preferably in the stock color. It will make the bike MUCH more appealing to a potential buyer. By the time you're done buying rattle cans you'll spend half of what a decent paint job would cost, plus the time you've spent on it. Gloss paint from a can is going to look like ****...And even if you do PERFECT body work and somehow spray if PERFECT out of the can, let it dry, wetsand and polish it, it's still rattle can paint that you can nick with your fingernail. Now if you're keeping it and want a semi-gloss or flat job on the cheap that's another story...Flat or semi-gloss black does look pretty cool.

 

Here's my ratings on paint:

Custom job in stock colors, same quality as stock.
Custom paint job in a different color
Shiny White

Unpainted
Shiny/matte black, non-stock
Primered
