Hi guys,

it's saturday night in germany, and instead of partying hard I am playing with the Gimp (like photoshop) to spend the last 24+ hours before my Zero delivery on monday morning

So - I am planning to get my new Zero S painted - and I was brainstorming over colors.
For everybody who wanna play with colors themselves - you can just download gimp (www.gimp.org) and use my prepared file, all parts are seperated as layers ... -> https://www.dropbox.com/s/u6re0ofgcatht3e/2012-Zero-Farben_chopped.xcf



Here are a few examples (I chopped the tail in Gimp and colored the bottom as well):







I somehow like all of them  

what do you guys think?

[oobflyer]

Are you having the whole bike painted (torn down to the frame) or just the plastic parts?

I couldn't see the images you posted here - can you re-upload them?

Hi Baumisch,

hope you don't mind uploading your photo, but I think most guys won't install gimp for having a lock at your Photo. As a linux user gimp is standard on my pc.

I really know how you feel at the moment. I have produced a bunch of photos too, at the time I had to wait for my Zero.

You can't see the pictures i embedded in the post?
Strange - I can see them even not being logged in in chrome and firefox ...

UPDATE: I uploaded the pics to different hoster ... should work now

Hi Baumisch,

I realized it is not possible to correct spelling if it is not your own thread / now I have to "look" better!

Yes I can see your Photos now!

Are you able to paint plastic parts?

I know/heard there are special methods. I had once painted plastic by my self and it was not scratch-proofed. Looked ugly, soon!

Thumbs up for your gimp work. Shades and all the tiny part, I always struggle at that point.

The color make it look really fast.

Maybe we have a trip together, its silly to go with the e-bike on the trailer to have a ride but if you take in mind that my top-speed is not as high as yours it could be fun.

Hi all
how about a total black version. recall Harlan has done one. the whole bike blacked out looks pretty good as well.

Gute Nacht Baumisch!

They all look great...I love the blue and yellow ones.

[ed5000]

I like them all.  I dunno, I think I like red, yellow and green but they're all good.

I am interested in the tail removal. How do you guys do it?? Is there a replacement kit for the light, plate holder and turn signals that will fit?
Please advise.

[manlytom]

hi, in first step I just took it all off. replaced with a LED tail light and bracket. not the final yet as finish not perfect -- but already much better !

got parts of ebay etc. pls see other thread LED conversion

[Larry295]

Ya this is so much better!!!
I wish Zero dealers would offer a LED conversion kit such as yours.

If you are looking for a complete kit or a nice finish solution for the Zero contact Harlan and Hollywood Electrics. What I did is more cobbled together and not final yet
