Paint type : glad wrapped? Looks pretty stylely, you must love your GN250!

When I get a serious bike (ie not nakkid) i'll prob get some paint work done. Will keep these guys in mind.

It's called marblizer yeah it get a scrunched up bag put on while paint it still wet puts the marks it in then it got a red candy put over the top.

It's a 1990 so the tank paint was looking pretty sad there were no dents in the tank so it didn't require any bogging and came up really nice.

I think its a cool paint job man but all I can think is $380 on a gn? thats like the boy racers in $1500 cars with chromes and shit. But hey I can talk I have spent almost $3k on a scooter for racing...

Good on you, it looks great!

damn.....bit pricier than what id pay, but then im a stingy bitch when it comes to money, lmfao. if i planned to stay on scuff for the rest of my riding days, i might go for a paint job, but tryna keep her stock, get more on the resell i think.

there was a gn tank and covers up on trademe about 2 years back...painted in a jack daniels theme of all things. the seller wanted $600 for the set i think, so you got a great deal!

It's a kawasaki so you'll get kudos for that... but it is NOT a ninja.

We have officially reserved the name ninja to only apply to anything with ZXR in the model name.

That will be all.

Weasel, without the GPx, I doubt you'd have your zxr. Yes they are both a ninja as mark rightly stated. Cheers for the laugh weasel, nevermind though, remember they are only kawasakis...

Yeah real good paint job but as people have pointed out IT IS STILL A GN... all good though if it was only 90 bucks.
Anyway I used to have one and even chucking on a set of flatter handlebars (SR250 ones maybe???) makes a huge difference to handling and all that while keeping the GNish look.:cool:
