Painted my Ryker panels to change them from Can Am "Red" to real red.

As a few of you may remember, I brought home my new Ryker Rally last month. I liked everything except the orange color of the Can Am "Red". So I got some supplies and performed a very amateur painting of the panels. I like it much better now. I used "Victory Red" from Duplicolor. I have had Chevy Tahoes in this color, so I really like it. Here is a photo of one of the panels with a unfinished Victory Red, compared to one of the panels with the untouched Can Am "Red".

Here are a couple photos of the finished panels. I really like the look of the Racer Red panels, especially with real red.

Very nice. :firstplace:

Very nice! I've found that with my 'Adrenalin Red' Ryker. If I wear an Orange jacket, my Ryker looks red. And if I wear a red jacket, my Ryker looks orange. It is a very weird, impossible to match color.

Thanks guys. BahaRon, I am originally from Nebraska, where almost every-other man-made object is red. So I know red. Can Am red is orange, plain and simple. When I picked up my Ryker in Nebraska I asked about a dozen locals what color my panels were, every person said orange. You live in Tennessee, so I bet you must know what orange looks like

ARtraveler, haven't I seen you around the iRV2 forums?

I have the Adrenalin Red, the Yellow, and Black panels. I have painted the top center 3 lids (frunk lid,etc) on the Ryker but not the Adrenalin Red panels. You've helped build up my courage to start can rattling again. But as long as I may paint them, maybe I won't go with red......hmmmmm. I thought at one time the Adrenalin Red panels color was called Dragon Blood Red.
