Colour change

[Stephen.Stallebrass]

Thinking about a dramatic colour change... might go down the plastidip route?

I like the Alien Pearl (Blue-Purple colour shift see below):

or the Triton Pearl (Green-Blue-Purple-Rose Red colour shift see below)

What do you reckon? Bit chavy or a bit of class? If I don't like it I can peel it right off!

I have considered buying a whole new set of used fairings and have them painted up. I know a few of you on here have done this... what should I expect to pay, a rough ball park figure will do, for a full set of used fairings?

if you are prepared to wait for deals to come along you could get a full set for around £500, if you want it fast and buy the first parts you see you will pay double, my MO is to let a buy it now part expire and then email the seller with an offer, 2nd hand fairings parts have very little value as the cost of spraying them is often more than buying a pre coulured one from Kawasaki .

Between $1k n $2k for a complete set of lightly scratched but not cracked and all tabs still good IMO...

That don't sound too bad.

Need to make a list of fairings... unless someone already has it to hand.

I hope one of this meets your expectation.



How to easily change colour of anything in Photoshop:

1.  Find an image you want to change (colour is best - RGB, the higher resolution the better and preferably with a neutral white/grey background)
2.  Open it in Photoshop
3.  Go to image>Adjustment>Hue/Saturation
4.  From the drop down box select the primary colour of the subject in the image - in my case it was green
     (selecting this changes only the greens - if you leave it as master it changes all the colours in the image).
5.  Move the Hue slider left or right to the desired colour.
6.  Moving the lightness slider left will darken the colour giving a more burnt look.

If you don't get the desired colour try again with a different colour original in the RGB spectrum (red or blue in my case). See attached image to try it for yourself.
