I like the orange best out of your choices......but I've always been partial to Kawasaki green. I think that would look sweet on the zong.

I thank everyone for his feedback. ChromeDioxide has got me thinking about the Desert Tan.
Also, I would like to welcome Zongkykong to these forums. He suggested Kawasaki Green. I think both colors are excellent suggestions; therefore, I have added them to the poll. Spud

I doubt the Clarke XT225 fuel tank would fit your Lifan GY5, Jim. :( Getting an aftermarket fuel tank to fit around the engine, forks, handlebars, and seat is a difficult job. The Clarke XT225 tank fits the Zong only because the Zong's engine and frame are close copies of the Yamaha TW200 and XT225 motorcycles. Spud

The Kawasaki Green also harmonizes with the Idaho Mountains, but perhaps not as well as the Desert Tan. Of course, it's hard to go wrong with basic black. Quote:

Krylon Fusion spray paint is available in Ultra Flat Camouflage Khaki, a pretty close match to Desert Tan. http://www.krylon.com/products/camou...on_technology/ Perhaps it is time to experiment with some scrap plastic from the Zong fuel tank shroud? Spud

The tan is the way to go. It's also original, not a copied color from another bike. Finally, touchups will be a breeze on a flat color, and no polishing required.

I don't like the flat black as much. It looks too much like primer you never got around to finishing. That said, my first Q was flat black, but with some decals and lettering and stuff to break it up and make it look nicer.
JMHO.

Thanks for the input, Doc. Krylon Fusion spray paint is also available in Gloss Black and Satin Black; I am sure both these colors would look better than the Ultra Flat Black.

Maybe offset the 'flatness' with some nice decals, MAYBE combine a Zongshen and a Yamaha decal?
