04 ZX10R and 03 ZX6R orange - same colour?

Post by ballbag »

Hi. New guy here. 04 ZX10R owner.

Wondering if anyone might know if the orange of the 04 ZX10R is the same as that of the 03 ZX6R?

Maybe 04. Should add I'm from Australia. Perhaps different colours were released in different countries.

youve prob only seen that colour zx6 on US model.
Ive watched a few youtube clips and seen guys with orange 03 636 so i would assume thats a factory job. If you've seen any here its no doubt either repainted, or they have imported a kit.
Same as we dont get blue 04 zx10 here, yet they do in USA.

If you cant get an answer goto a paint shop, ive seen for zx10 way more colours, than what ive seen available to buy!

Yeah, what I'm wondering is if these dodgy Chinese knock-off fairing kits on ebay for the orange ZX6R are anywhere near the colour of my 05 ZX10.

i doubt they would be very close in colour, the greens are quite different.

The zx10 has a flake in the paint does it not, i think the zx6r was just a gloss orange.

mate a quick word of warning on those Chinese farings too, I got a full set for my 05 636, they don't fit real well, the mount points for things like the tail and head lights aren't molded, they are glued on (and come away really easy) and the paint quality is pretty poor (had to repaint all of mine). I pity the poor bugger who ended up buying my 636.
