Title: paint pics wanted
Post by: kdm on May 26, 2011, 05:54:06 AM
A while back - before the crash - somebody posted some pictures of some cool paint mods that they did to an 08. It had some black around the headlight and other places ,and  I think it ended up with Kawi Green wheels!

If that poster is still around ,could you put some pics back up ? Like to see it again  ( well ,maybe not the green wheels!  ;D )

So, I was thinking , maybe the guy with the nice black on silver paint job might have joined us by now- and might post his pics again if I give this a BUMP. ;D

Anybody have pics to add to this thread?  I would love to see more of Phil's bike with bags on it.  I am still thinking about painting my bike and can't make up my mind whether I want to go understated (gun metal grey) or bright (red, orange, green).

Yes, black wheels. I like it.

I like the red, but I don't think I need any more attention when I am riding.  The green is what I am leaning towards........black wheels are already taken care of.  A shade of copper is another one that I am thinking about.

Are you gonna powdercoat them while you've got it all apart Jeremy? I recommend it, it's really inexpensive and will last forever...

Yes I am, they will be either gloss or satin black.

@DONB
My wife would love that color.............. me not so much.

also paint the lowers to match it really helps the bike look even better.

Post by: stlheadake on October 31, 2011, 10:46:19 AM
Jeremy, I am SOOO close to painting mine that EXACT color.  I really like to two tone gun metal and that copper, but then some clown would mistake me for a Hardley!  There is a sweet subtle mint green that Chevy used on their Cadillac, very similar to the Goldwing green only better.   

Yes I am, they will be either gloss or satin black.

I've always liked orange and black bikes, like this VFR (which also happens to be supercharged).

I still love the Kawa GREEN ! 

But, I'd  hate to take off all the Tupperware and have it painted.  BTDTX2  before.
Wonder how much the painted Tupperware goes for if I buy a 2nd set .... I'd keep the black parts black and powder coat the wheels BLACK, too. 

Now, yer talkin' .... now, I'm listenin' !

If anyone is interested in the red bike referred to in the EBAY post, It is close to where I live and I'd be happy to check it out for anyone considering it, please note it's a "salvage" title.
