Post by: Ubertours on September 16, 2013, 12:20:34 PM
Does anyone have a paint code for the silver paint on the engine/swingarm as mine is beginning to flake.

ZG, I've already said how much I like your GTR in GREEN, but the bike in all Black is the dogs bollox mate...it is absolutely stunning  :yes:  :clap: :clap:

I'm a fan of tasteful modification/improvements as seen here on a 'Special' of mine which, sadly I no longer own, which I know is of a different era (and its a stroker) so its a 'stink wheels' bike, but has original paintwork plus other 'enhancements'

Thanks OC, I like the black too.  :cool:

That's the good thing about how I did my green bodywork, I sourced a complete 2nd set of bodywork that I had painted green, my original black bodywork is safely packed in the garage to be put back on if I feel like it.  :smiley:

Oh, and I'm sick in the head too because I also have another compete set of bodywork too that I'm still trying to decide what color to paint it as well...   :shocked: :grin:

I'm a huge fan of the old smokers man, that is an awesome looking Kawi smoker you've got there my friend!  :punk:

Thanks ZG, the Strokers really do have a personality all of their own, and they absolutely bring out the true hooligan in me  :mfr_lol:
:
BTW how about a nice deep Red/Burgundy, or maybe a Light metallic Blue  for the spare paint set for your GTR  :yes

Well I don't want to threadjack this tread/topic but since you asked... :wink:

The folks over on another forum have been helping me try to decide, you should check out this thread if you have time, lots of great ideas/concepts/pics regarding what to paint the 3rd set of bodywork...  :smiley:

http://www.zggtr.org/index.php?topic=12886.0


I started out really leaning towards doing a matte black with a pearl but lately I'm more considering the "Candy Burnt Orange" that they used on the 2009 ZX14 Special Edition they did in the US (not sure if it's the same for the ZZR over there or not?  :undecided:)

Anyways, it's a pretty striking color IMO and changes with light to oranges, reds, and even some yellows...  :cool:

What do you think?

It doesn't work too well for me ZG, sorry, its just a bit too busy, a bit OTT, now if it was toned down a bit then I might likey more

Something like this with tastful modifications might work well, it always looked good on the good 'ol ZZR 1100..just my ten penneth

Oh, BTW I really dont like that twin pipe set up, the muzzy with slightly shorter cans looks sooooo much better  :yes:  :clap:

Its amazing how a full paint job can transform a machine completely

here's my mates nice ZRX1100.........

Red's been done too many times and they say its a color associated with men who have small appendages   :mfr_lol: :mfr_lol:

NOW..............the Blue is stunning (once had an M3 EVO in that colour) and I think would look superb on a GTR   :yes:
