re-color the GTR1400....

[Hans]

Hello gents....

I'm about to (perhaps) re-colour my fine black GTR1400... into Perl White (BMW). Before I do this colourchange I need to know a few things...

Would the "Kawasaki" letters on the left/right cowl be unmounted easily- and what about the "GTR1400" letters on the side-cowl? Does anyone know about this?

Please...No guesswork or "I think "....    ;D

It would be some-sort-of look-alike this one... except that I will preserve the lower part black

I've no ideas about the decals but I too want to spray my bike into a different colour.

Edit: might pay these chaps a visit this weekend to get a quote or two

Usually double sided sticky stuff!
Hot air gun normally gets them off....carefully mind!

That does look good.

yup every bike/car that came through the body shop where I used to work  decals came off like this, but seldom were reusable as the glue is a one shot deal.

Well... untill now only guesswork or "I think "....    ::)

I'll strip the side-cowl tomorrow and have a look.....

Take a photo and dimensions of decals any going car /sign maker will be able to make up roughly the same set.

Dunno.

Yellow ? That's kinky.

How will respraying the GTR a non standard colour such as white affect its resale or px value?
