New paint for my 2004 Z1000

Post by oldman »

I painted my Z over the winter and did my usual shitty drunken job. It's not bad if you don't get too close. Cheers. :kuda:
The only reason I posted this is this site seems to have died.

Great that you posted up the fruits of your labour OM, but not sure how....."dead" the site is? I thought it was still reasonably vibrant??

My 17 year old son picked the color. I paint the tank a different colour every year. You would think after all these years of painting I would be an accomplished painter, but it still is a shitty job. Maybe if I try it sober?????

Maybe next year, you pick the colour, and let your son paint it ?
