Before and After Shots!

[2_SL0]

Well when i purchased the bike it was a colour that created alot of comments. Mainly aimed at me and my sexuality. Well it got to much for me and I did something about it. Its far from perfect but I think its better than pink. :scooter:

[Firefight]

Looks good JB, will keep an eye out for it as we travel round your way.

F/F :wacko:

[Magua]

Nice! :niceone: I hope to achieve something similar with my fzr oneday. Bah, I see you have a far nicer 3ln than my 2kr.

[James Deuce]

It looks fantastic!

Nice Job

[k14]

Yeah damn nice job there. Did you do it yourself or did you get someone to do it properly?

[2_SL0]

Did it myself. Its not perfect but Im happy. I wont have the bike foever so Im not to fussed.

[Blakamin]

Very Nice!! :niceone:
i still wonder why yamaha went for pink :wacko:

From what I can see you did a pretty nice job JB... :not:

[Antallica]

Looks excellent, love how clean & tidy it is. Top marks.

[Jamezo]

that looks absolutely fantastic! what year is it?

[riffer]

Very Nice!! :niceone:
i still wonder why yamaha went for pink :wacko: Because real men don't have such fragile egos that they measure their masculinity by the colour of their ride.... :ar15:

I'd have a YZF750SP any day. Don't care if its pink.

[Antallica]

Looks like an early 90's going by the headlights.

[White trash]

That is one smurfy looking bike, J/Bar! :niceone:

A vast improvement on the pink. "Smurf-a-liscious!"

[2_SL0]

Its a 1993.

I hope I get my fairing back from my mechanic, so I can have a go at respraying the old ones. Is there a set technique? Sand (dry then wet?), prime, paint x 3 layers?

Try this..
Wet with 400, prime, wet 600, paint x 3 or 4, wet 1200, paint x1, cut and polish.

I did...
plastic weld, wet 100/220, bog, wet 100/220/360, wet 400, prime, wet 600, paint x3, lowside, plastic weld, wet 100/220, bog, wet 100/220......

the first way is faster, and less painfull.

[SPman]

Whats wrong with pink!

[2_SL0]

Nothing dude, I folded to peer preassure. :crybaby:

[カワサキキド]

pink is the colour of road rash!

[Ms Piggy]

Nice one :2thumbsup - more inpsiration for me and my repaint adventure!

Probably not a good idea to get water anywhere near bog!...only just safe after it's primed... it soaks in and bulges after time... and will cause you paint to flake off as it "sweats"

[riffer]

Well said that man!

Do you want mine?

Yes, but unfortunately the new bike budget is looking very thin at the moment...

[enigma51]

Yeah the pink color was a bit hmmmmmmm wrong But the new paint is looking good

[Coyote]

I’m hopefully getting a FZR250 2KR tomorrow. I'll see if I can give it a matt black finish all over. Ideally I would get it professionally done but I haven't got the funds so I'm going to try and do it myself.

Actually, have you all got any tips on what paint I should use and how to go about it?

PM me... use acrylic and 90% of the finish is in prep... matt black will f*ck up in no time tho

[2_SL0]

Im sure Blakamin can help you with advise so Ill leave it to him. But it is all in the prep work.
