ZG's Go Green paint project - 2012 ZX14R Special Edition Green

[Son of Pappy]

You'll be happy to know Chet that pretty much all the body parts I sourced for painting are silverdammit and 09 red. 
 
I hope my Connie doesn't reject em... 

Finally, a performance upgrade that isn't gold in color   You do know that with the ZX color you NEED the ZX14 TBs

I wouldn't put "ZX14R" badges on it goofball... 
 
I'm talking about the "KAWASAKI" badges from the ZX14R, they look/say the same but are just a different color, more of a lighter gun metal color instead of the mirrored chrome look. 

D'oh! Carry on.

I never watched the movie "Treasure of the sierra madre". But all my life I've heard the famous line "we don't need no stinking badges". But now I find out they never said that line. Instead the line is "I don't have to show you any stinking badges". Learn something new everyday. Thanks Conrad!

I love the look on that guy's face when he's asked about his badge.

I'm hearing a rumor that we may be doing a Lee Parks Total Control Clinic during the rally, I'm thinking a green ZG14RR, er CX14, er, C14 would make for an awesome Concourier cover shot

Oh don't say that Chet! J has already been on the cover once already! He's gonna get a big head if this keeps up.

Is there a rule about only having one cover shot C?

Ordered up a set of mirrors today, that now makes a complete body kit with tank and side case lids complete for $1420 shipped. 
 
Now I just have to wait for all the parts to arrive next week and get em over to the painter.

I agree.  I even chose the black so I could get candy lime accents painted, but when push came to shove I couldn't find a painter I would trust with the project.  The black and chrome is growing on me and I can wear any color gear without clashing

No one told you about that rule J?

I think Jay should start his own rag.  Let's call it FOG, Farkle Owners Group.

Nando is right, these threads are exhausting. 

Get on with the project and would ya be kind enough to put it on a new thread. 

On a side note.

Man you're high maintenance... Ok fine, I updated the thread title name just for you Gumby.

So I made a decision on the badges and ordered them up today.
 
I ordered the Kawasaki badges for the front sides and Kawi 47 trunk lid.
 
The 10+ Concours 14 badges for the tail sides (the individual letters will show the green through the letters, the solid 08/09 badges won't).
 
And the 08 ABS stickers for the front fender, the 08's have that sticker in black, the 09's are silver stickers.
 
My painter is going to paint the Kawasaki and Concours 14 badges in a satin black and then clear coat over the paint.
 
Many debates in my head but this won out, hope it turns out as good as I in-vision.

What the heck, if it doesn't look just right, you can take the golf cart out to the back yard, pick some 100's off of that gigantic money tree you must have, and start over.
