Paint my bike ya bastards......

[Postie]

My bike is ready for a respray, its an NC23 CBR400 double ARGHH.

I had a couple of ideas for colours, i was gonna do a Movistar replica but now i'm not too sure if its too wanky or more to the point, too much work, so i though metalic blue or candy red. (poll above if you can be bothered)

But the point of the thread, is anyone in Auckland a spray painter or know a good spray painter that will do me a nice deal, i went to buy the paint and thinners and addatives and all the other crap you need only to find that it would be cheaper to get someone to do it as i would have to pay for move product then i need and would have heaps left over. I wasn't gonna spray it myself, tried that before on a van and it looked pants. Was just gonna buy the paint cos i thought it would be cheaper and give it to my mate who is a painter (interior decor) but can spray 2 pac and has the spray gun and stuff..... anyway, back to the point....... any spray painters wanna paint my bike????

[bugjuice]

spray it orange..
then I can get my fairing done a little cheaper and I can pitch in for a bit of the cost ;)
There's a reputable spray shop over the shore, but can't remember what they're called. I'll go find it. Give them a buzz and ask for a rough idea on cost
And you know you'll have to undo what you did with the paint brush, ay?

[Sniper]

I can do it. Im going to do my bike, but I need some practise first

[bigbadwolf]

movistar all the way man. soooo many people would just stare at your bike in awe and wonder how farkin fast it is... plus it looks dam cool as well. :2thumbsup

failing that, candy red would also look noice

Reflections?

And orange is naff. Go red and silver instead.

[cowpoos]

pink....I dare ya....







PS: WT has the leathers

[Colapop]

Don't bother - ya may as well give it away.

Did I mention I could put you in a nice little Charade? Cheap as chips to run and safe as a brick shithouse.:rofl:

[bugjuice]

Reflections?

And orange is naff. Go red and silver instead.
that's the one..
red and silver is sooooo yesterday..

anyway, postie, what's the big diff between the MoviStar (which is blue with yellow graphics) and just blue?

[flash]

hw bout you get the whole frame powder coated black?, then paint the fairings candy red??. that would be the best out of the lot ;)

and colapop, shutup about your car, no one wants it :)

[**R1**]

Reflections?

And orange is naff. Go red and silver instead.Red and silver is HOT!!!!


only coz I have 1;)

and if ya hadnt noticed i like posting pics of it....:shake:

[bugjuice]

powder coat the frame black, and spray it orange..
looks sexy as

[Sniper]

Matt Black......

[Postie]

that's the one..
red and silver is sooooo yesterday..

anyway, postie, what's the big diff between the MoviStar (which is blue with yellow graphics) and just blue?

err the yellow grapics and the movistar blue is a solid blue, not metalic.
its a question of can i be arsed or not.....

[bugjuice]

Matt Black......
I've met him..
what's he do again?

[hXc]

Flash's idea is the best. You can't paint it metallic blue - that's patented by me and Speights bud

[bugjuice]

err the yellow grapics and the movistar blue is a solid blue, not metalic.
its a question of can i be arsed or not.....
so make it metalic blue then.. or subaru blue and yellow graphics.. put a bit 555 and a swoosh on the side
or just spray the whole thing in PMS021

[WRT]

Red and silver is HOT!!!!


only coz I have 1;)

and if ya hadnt noticed i like posting pics of it....:shake:

You and me both there, buddy.

[bugjuice]

[WRT]

As opposed to unwanted? :Pokey:

[bugjuice]

ooo, good come back.
anyway, it's wanted big time :bleh:

Wasn't the other day when I saw it, kit is going to have his project finished before you I bet!

I vote leaving it as is, that tank is beautiful!

[SVrunner]

Metalic Blue - people will see & notice you.
Red is like saying " I'm here cops & going fast on anything red"

[Postie]

Wasn't the other day when I saw it, kit is going to have his project finished before you I bet!

I vote leaving it as is, that tank is beautiful!

kits had his project for months and only just started it, mine will be finished this week, all bar the painting that is, but it will be reving and looking pretty crappy till its sprayed.

[bugjuice]

I get the forks back tomorrow (would have been earlier, but can't pick them up), then I just stick the motor in, figure out that spaghetti and bolt it up.
be done in another month-ish
Only just started it, cos I didn't have the frame for ages, then just never had time. Now I just want to get it done!

[Firefight]

Not Fuckin Orange !!!!!:sick: :sick: :sick: :sick:


F/F:blink:

[bugjuice]

only cos it haunts your dreams
and you would pick blue..
ok, spray it PMS021 then

[Sniper]

Im with FF here, not orange, its err.........

[hXc]

Im with FF here, not orange, its err.........

Ghey in the face

[bugjuice]

pfft.. the lot of ya.. no taste at all..

[Postie]

Not Fuckin Orange !!!!!:sick: :sick: :sick: :sick:


F/F:blink:

no danger of that happening mate, theres already enough orange bikes in Auckland.....

[Postie]

asides from the bitchin about the colour, any ideas of a decent place to actually get the job done.... once we decided on a colour to paint it.

[Sniper]

Like I said, I need practise, I can do it.

[Postie]

Like I said, I need practise, I can do it.

practice on WINJAS roof....

[hXc]

practice on WINJAS roof....

He can't...It's already been done

[WRT]

Reflections are good, but their prices are steep. I got some scratches resprayed on the TLR a couple of years back after some w@nker pushed it over . . .

Failing that, could you just pass it over to a car painter? Hand them the panels and the paint and say how much?

[DEATH_INC.]

Lemme know when and I'll talk to my flatmate about it ,he's a car painter and can prolly do it fairly cheap for ya , as long as you supply the graphics for any graficy stuff.For this reason it may be best to keep to a simple colour.

[Colapop]

Paint it mauve it'll suit your stylist ways!


and colapop, shutup about your car, no one wants it :)
I know, I know, I just feel left out - like being the sober driver everybody's having fun but me

Anyone feel sorry for me now?

[hXc]

paint it black and purple with purple rims:scooter: :scooter:
No comment.

[Postie]

thanks DEATH, the fairings and tank are ready now, the front fairings and belly pan are fibre glass, the rears are plastic and the tank.... well thats metal. i can bring them down for him to have a look if he likes for a quote or something.

[MSTRS]

... ex Jason McEwen's bike, so the colour is fuckin fast. Must be...the team's faces are all pushed back into permanent wrinkles....

Proceeds to KB.

ps ..could make it a Team KB Race rep, I can supply all the decals.Good idea - and very public spirited of you too.

[MSTRS]

Re. colour......hXc's new Spada is at the paint shop to be sprayed Met.Blue. I could ask the painters to peel off the Kelly Green original paint (instead of wasting it by sanding) then I'll send it to you for re-fitting:shifty:

[MidnightMike]

Metallic Blue. :2thumbsup

[Postie]

Hey Postie, I have some Gloss Jet Black two pack, primer filler and thinners etc, going cheap to you... ex Jason McEwen's bike, so the colour is fuckin fast. Proceeds to KB.

ps ..could make it a Team KB Race rep, I can supply all the decals.

nice idea Speedy, i did think of black but it would have to be a really nice metalic black, but i prefere some colour. mmmmm how about the gixxer in the picture........ going cheap to me???

[Firefight]

no danger of that happening mate, theres already enough orange bikes in Auckland.....


Bling for postie !!!

Does that mean Stuff you??? :eek5:

[inlinefour]

Its the best colour for a motorcycle IMO.:corn:

[Firefight]

could it be "still say Fuck you "?

F/F:eek5:

[bugjuice]

errrrrrrr sure, why not..

[Smokin]

How about this for a paint job? :blip:

http://www.tyga-performance.com/camel/rightrear1.jpg

shouldnt be too hard to copy.

[bugjuice]

if they don't like orange, they aren't going to like yellow..

[pritch]

Would be OK on a Yamaha. I understand that Rossi's team mates will be in Camel colours this year.

[aff-man]

I know I might get shot for this .. But silver and metallic blue (like the MV)

Was gonna go my CBR600 that way.

Bullshit about the price by the way. All up the paint and stuff was going to cost me $250 -$350 depending on the exact colour i wanted and that includes shitloads of good thinner. I bought the spraykit for the first bike i prayed so already had that which cost $129 from bunnings..

You find a sprayer that'll do a whole bike for under $500 and i'll be mighty impressed.

[HDTboy]

Rep sent with the name and number of a good guy.
What about BMW CarbonSchwartz, which is the black/blue on M5s and M3s, with yellow wheels and stickers, it'd look fucking hot

[flash]

You find a sprayer that'll do a whole bike for under $500 and i'll be mighty impressed.

theres a wicked guy in tauranga that said if i sanded and got ready the panels held paint them for $300-$400 or $50 a panel (on adverage)

i also have to agree with bugjuice, orange is a nice clour for a bike, so is yellow (my personal fav). i say any bright/flashy colour is great for a bike. theres not many bikes around these days so you may as well stand out from the rest.

[Sketchy_Racer]

Kawasaki GREEN !!!!!!!

Or Orange. mmmm i love that Green tho

[Qkchk]

How about painting it "Blue" then getting yellow Movistar decals? Just give it a base coat of blue then do the rest with Vinyl......................

[froggyfrenchman]

Not Fuckin Orange !!!!!:sick: :sick: :sick: :sick:


F/F:blink:

I beg to difer... you would all love to own this! i know you would...:Punk:

[Colapop]

He'd spend all of his time doing Barbie's hair instead of riding!!

[Cibby]

I VOTE KANDI RED.....

only cause it will match certain purchases i made today postie... :) :devil2:


movistar is all good thou...

[Colapop]

Okaaeee.... maybe he spends his time doing Cibby's hair?

[master jedi]

dam man what are you thinking ,paint it black with a red pearl in it .polish the rims ........smick as .

[Postie]

He'd spend all of his time doing Barbie's hair instead of riding!!
get back in your Charade poppy....

[Colapop]

The Charade is bolnde.... that's kinda like hair!


It's my goal to hijack every thread I'm on and steer it to the Charade.

[froggyfrenchman]

Barbie was removed to make way for number boards

[gamgee]

BLACK, the only color a bike should be!!! shiny shiny black mmmmm love my black bike!! go on you know you want to, plus there is some chemical in the color black which automatically adds 10hp to your bike, i think it's the same idea as fast nigerian runners, and if thats not incentive enough, the chicks love a guy on a black bike, well at least until ya take your helmet off

[Dammad]

just go black:beer: :whocares:

[Swoop]

Tartan checks "plaid":niceone:

Or stripes.


Best would be tartan AND stripes!!!:first:


Why?

When pulled over by the woodentops, they would spend all their time pukeing in the gutter, so you could just ride off!!!:msn-wink:


OK, I'll piss off now...

[WRT]

if they don't like orange, they aren't going to like yellow..
Oh, I beg to differ. I dont like orange, but I love yellow (see below).

But I like Aff-man's suggestion of blue and silver, something like this (http://www.colemans-suzuki.co.nz/mv-f41000-05-bikepics-330042.jpg). And I've owned a black bike in the past and got pulled out on more than any other bike I've ever had. I've got no doubt that the darker you're bike, the harder it is for other people on the road to see you.

And Smokin - if you put the word "Toe" in there somewhere, then I think you are onto a winner.

[sAsLEX]

could it be "still say Fuck you "?

F/F:eek5:

No acronyms generally indicate the first letter of each word, generally that is so

Shut
The
Fu*k
Up

[bugjuice]

And Smokin - if you put the word "Toe" in there somewhere, then I think you are onto a winner.
yellow is a shade of orange..
and it's nice to see some support for the VitC flavour.
And what's with Smokey Toe? Doesn't sound like a winner

[terbang]

Black, Black, and more Black..

[hXc]

Any colour you want. But you can't have metallic blue! That's MY colour! I own it!

Oh and orange is ghey in the face. It needs a haircut

[*sic]

black as night, black as pitch, blacker than the foulest witch..

then it will be like mine.

[Smokin]

And Smokin - if you put the word "Toe" in there somewhere, then I think you are onto a winner.

MMmmm, Im quite fond of camel toes as well!!!

[bugjuice]

we'll have none of that malarky on this site, thank you very much

[WRT]

And what's with Smokey Toe?

If your making her 'Toe smoke, then try using some lube. Or at least make an effort to get her in the mood, ffs.

Red and Black,my favourite colour schemes 4 a meaty ''inline 4 or twin''

[Gremlin]

I think Kawaksaki Racing Green, maybe chuck in a little bit of purple and white. Classy paint job, and you would stop yourself being one of the sheep :blip:

[Colapop]

Quite the contrary, it increases it's value - it becomes unique, a collectors item.

Paint the swingarm gold - I'v e got some touch up paint....

[Postie]

like this, but with fairings
er... yeah i was going more for the VTR SP1 rather then the VTR250....

[flash]

i couldnt be botherd searching for the right model, these pics were already on my computer. but you know what i mean

[Gremlin]

but then held be copying you, isnt that being a sheep?
No no, sheep come in flocks...

Only a couple of people wouldn't constitute a flock :bleh: curse you and your sharp mind

you know you want it postie :wari:

[Smorg]

I keep telling everyone...............Primer Grey then when u fall off its an easy fix:ride:

[EZAS]

I agree with Smorgen, Nothing beats Primer Grey, but unlike him ... I'm actually serious.

[Macktheknife]

I havent looked thru all the replies but there are 2 painters I can recommend on the shore, Reflections in Glenfield consistently good stuff; and North Harbour Collision repairs, Greg Lay. Greg does excellent work and he can also make custom tanks etc if you are into customs. He is currently one of the cheapest around and really knows his bikes.
