Title: Colour choices
Post by: Boomer on April 18, 2013, 12:35:05 PM
I don't know how many of you have been following ZGs respray over on the ZGGTR & COG forums but Conniesaki today posted some interesting colour options using Photoshop or similar.
I can hear Debs salivating over the Purple & Pinks ones already.  :mfr_lol:

Don't know in pounds but the complete job cost R 5000.00 ( including the panniers ). Paint itself was R1000.00/Litre.

Blue with 2 pearl. Really looks good in the flesh !!

Yes, the blue is very nice and suits the bike very nicely ( i.m.o ).

I have to apologise, I do not know how to reduce the size of the pic !!! Takes forever to load.

The subtle shadowing on that red bike is superb.
Not sure it would work with Team Green though.  :mfr_lol:

I have to admit the Green is better than I first thought.....love it

The colours on the bikes have been layered onto the photo as the bike is millimetre perfect in every shot --------I thought for one minute they had actually been done those colours !!  :mfr_lol:  The blue is nice, but too much like my FJR

I was at Hotel Sturm in 2007 and saw that bike in the flesh.
The light green is nice but the dark green sections ruin it.
Would have been better if he had just left these bits black.

This is a better picture, oh and I took the original of that picture you have Beegee.  :laugh:

Dark green and light make it look like one of those cheap Dinky toys that were never the right colour in the 70's (UPO Interceptor comes to mind!)

I do like the light / Kawasaki green

I think you have to have a good sense of humour to own that, or be colour blind. Definitely s 'not' for me  :no:
