What's your favorite color for a GT300i between black and silver...
I worry about visibility on the road especially at night with the black color. The gold/yellow color is not for me.

I own a flat black SYM RV200. Bought it as a leftover at a price I couldn't refuse. Never again as I saw a nite Vission shot of my garage and the scoot was invisable.
My new Downtown 300 is silver. I like to be seen. That said I got hit on a yellow RT so go figure.

I know you said not for you but, I just bought a gold GT and I really love it. Not sure if you have seen it in person but it's a rich dark gold color that looks fantastic in the sun. It was the only color I liked. I'm not into silver at all.
Good luck and ride safe, mscmkr

I think it was narrowed down to black or silver.
Just say'n ;)

Get both! I like black, no wait... Silver is better. wait... Bliver is best. Maybe... Tangerine is best.

I paint boats for a living... My scooters have been dozens of colors. It's never easy to choose, and even harder to live with. Remind you of any one you know?? Mrs Scooter perhaps?

Here's a question for you, how much should it cost changing/re-spray the color to white?

I keep seeing pics of white GT's on the internet. Are they just available overseas? It looks great white.

The GT200i was available in white and the plastic from that fits the GT300i at the cost of $650 from the local dealer...

Between the two I would choose Black. Funny thing is I'm attempting to buy a used GT 300i. It is gold. Not a color I would have chosen if I were buying new. But it is growing on me.

It's easier than you think. Rumor has it there's a "heater" hidden in the men's room at the dealer...
Go check and then use it the shake things up around there . :o

It's just a rumor... ?
Most shops will charge 300-400 for a top quality paint job. You could knock that down by half or more by doing the "Prep". Remove all the plastics, and bring it all to the shop.
You have to figure at least 75.00 for paint alone.

The white is cool, storm trooper looking. Get a black one, then mess around on PhotoShop and see what white\ black combo looks best and have a custom looking DT

Thank you! lastly how does one identify a place that does quality paint job...

Ask them to show you work they have done or are doing. You really need to see the work. Picts. LIE.
I have a couple dozen jobs that the customers expect me to be showing for reference.
Painting body panels off the bike is monkey work. Enough time, and bananas you could train a painter. It's the Prep that matters. Priming w/ an epoxy sealer is a MUST. After that you can use whatever finish you like.
I would figure a quart of sealer, a quart of paint, and a pint of reducer would give you room to spare.

You could spend the 4 hundred, and buty the tools/paint, and do it yourself. I would be happy to walk you thru from buying the right stuff to actually painting the bike.
Spraying is easy... Banana...
The prep is work.
Ps... PhotoShop is the best idea of the bunch. I have to learn that stuff.

I got myself dreaming of a Black/white DT now haha

There's picts on the forum somewhere of a bl/white 300i. I think it was in Croatia (one of Ays's buddies)
Damn nice looking bike. It was about 2 years ago.
