The rare white tiger.....

After an off road 'incident' I decided rash was not becoming of my Tiger.
I decided a paint job was in order, so I hit the paint books.  White was the winner.  I am happy with the results.  I just need to figure out what graphics to use on the bike (if any)

Wow, that color really does something to effect the curves in photos.
I like it!
Looking forward to seeing how contrasting graphics look on it, so please, keep us updated!

Prep?
Did you have it sanded down to primer?

Looks great mate. Maybe only needs "Triumph" in black on the sides of the tank to finish it off. :)

It was a professionally done job, so he sanded down the tank to remove the rash as well as feather the rough spots in the clear coatleft when decals came off.  

The pictures do not look as good as the real thing.  

As for decals, I am thinking I will go with blue.  I have someone to cut them, but I have not settled on what exactly I want.

Man, that's classy.  Very distinctive.

Bravo for choosing your own colors.

I'd give it a 'police' look or maybe a 'sexy Tigress' !

Scott Hausdorf in Atlanta area had a beautiful white Tiger... his tank graphics was a  single Tiger claw ripping open the tank.  

Very nice job... as always... the white really defines the curves.

Seems to me there's only one solution.
