Once we had settled on the paint scheme, we then had to choose the paint. We have applied a TYGA sticker to the tank but the jury is out on that one. The TYGA logo is very visible even from 50 metres away and should be instantly recognisable in a race. We need to provide a decent size canvas for sub-sponsors and for racing numbers. Graphics on our NRS are kept to a minimum. The final scheme we settled on is a mirror interpretation of the seat cowl but the blue flashes that are on the lower edge of the seat cowl are absent from the tank. Some of our early ideas made it look like an old EXUP or YPVS. The tank was also another difficult area to paint. This was echoed on the front part of the seat.įrom the rear, the seat cowl design is extended over the tank, where the blue stretches out to full width to match up with the blue on the upper cowl. In the end, we settled on blue with a white under stripe tapering towards the center under the vent. It is very challenging to find an idea that doesn't look like another race team or production bike scheme. The front was actually one of the hardest parts to get right. We kept the sandwich affect but more subtly We therefore went for swooping triangular and round shapes. However, we wanted to avoid stripes as being too conventional and stripes can hide the bodywork contours we were trying to promote. We wanted to preserve the sandwich effect of the red and blue with a touch of white in between on our logo. Other schemes had zig zags and stripes but we eventually after many evenings of emulsion painting came up with the scheme shown below. The finish was very textured but it enabled us to see what a scheme would look like from all angles, quickly, cheaply and easily. The paint dried quickly so we were able to apply it and then repaint again and again in one sitting. I don't know if this is the correct way, but we went out and bought ourselves some big cans of emulsion paint, some brushes and some masking tape. It had to be simple but instantly recognizable and easy to apply to different models. So where do you start? In our case we started with the knowledge that we wanted to use our corporate colors and have a scheme which displayed our bodywork to its full. This is the story of the TYGA Performance color scheme. Unfortunately, it is not that simple and it is not until you start to designing a paint scheme from scratch that you realize there is a lot more to it than a few lines and colors.
