    Teach its owner to fix it and it'll break in some way you've never seen before.

    If you want to try keep resale value then choose as close to an original ZZR colour as possible and get yourself a set of decals. immediate thought when someone sees a resprayed bike in an aftermarket colour or with no decals is "its been binned, and bad enough that it had to be patched up and resprayed"

    So you want to change the colour of your bike just because your uncle doesn't like it??

    Who cares what your uncle thinks, so long as you like it...free paint job or not.
