paint idea!

Postby Saki » Fri Nov 23, 2007 4:30 pm

G'day guys,

i was thinking of doing something different with the paint scheme on my bike. I have a Zx9R C model in a metallic blue colour which looks quite good. But i was thinking about changing it to something slightly different from normal as quite a few of my mates are panel beaters and painters.

Colour idea i had was to paint all the fairing in either a plain white or a pearl white. Having the frame painted or powder coated in a matt black. Then getting the rims painted in black also. Then replacing all teh stickers with black stickers.

let me know your oppions.

Thanks guys

Sounds nice, but that particular blue is the best colour to ever grace a stock Kawasaki IMO. Be a bit of a shame to change it.

Well if you want to paint it white why not go for the ford cobra look,two blue stripes from the front fairing across the tank and tail,useing the same type of blue ;)

You could add one of these on each side of the fairing - given the colour combo that you described initially !! :D

well part reason is the piece of fairing is mismatched colour to the rest of hte bike and its clear as day to see that its been respreyed with the logos that have been covered over, so she needs some TLC, i mean the paint is good condition, but the resprey is obvious and there is mismatch colour also!
