re-color the GTR1400....

[ZG]

Next up I'm doing some little tweaks to my oem black set and having the badges all done in a neon green to match up with a set of wheels that I had powder coated neon green the other month. 

Below is a photo-shop play that should give you the squint eye feel of what I'm thinking...

........ you guys never have good taste over on that side of the water...



You like it but you just don't know how to react over it...   

[O.C.]

  Its because we DO have good taste that we are able to advise you Z.G 

BTW, I reckon the girl in the clip knew exactly what she was doing......long may she continue

The Team Green wheels & badges are fine, but the black needs to be matt.
I thought of using the green on my C10/GTR1000 but ended up using orange and matt-black as it stands out better.

was talking to a GTR owner who had a bmw r100 resprayed by a guy that the Bmw dealership in Manchester use, they gave him the guys details, anyway had a full bike done including a full fairing for £200 , the gtr guy told me it was a showroom finish and when he visited him had various bmw bikes from the dealer that he was working on. A bit more on the gtr what with the panniers but still an amazing price!!

When I had my zzr resprayed I think it was £1100, I bought all the new or spare bodywork from fleabay although I was lucky that I got the whole bikes bodywork for £300, the original blue is wrapped up safe in loft so that if I wish to sell or swap back I can.

For the cost NO stickers were used it was all completed in paint.

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

Badly.

[viper]

Badly.

I agree, that's why im buying up a second set plastics for the new paint, probly only going to cost about £350 to get everything

Bull.....

There are many buyers who want unoriginal color - if the color is not extreme and very special ....

[Winston Smith]

Maybe it's a British thing Hans, but there is always suspicion that paintwork ahs been done to hide a crashed machine.  Also insurance companies are often 'awkward' about non original colours too

Yep dealers and insurance companies don't like special paint jobs over here. Though some dealers are Ok if it's a special they supplied (i.e. Triumph 8 Ball paint jobs)
