Premium Member crazycracka501 Posted May 23, 2015 Premium Member Share Posted May 23, 2015 For all who are thinking about changing the color of their bikes, I've already given my bike one color change but did it plasti dip to test the waters. Now I have permanent color. The clear coat did have to cure, so I won't get them till tomorrow. Here is a teaser of the new color. Will post pics once all are on the bike.

Kwaipuak Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 Very interesting, it's a color I think I would more likely see on a Harley, interested in seeing how it looks on the bike. I dislike the grey, was thinking of plastidipping white, think the blurple frame and white would look nice. Maybe a blurple Yamaha logo or FZ-07 on the tank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beemer Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 Interesting that color, brings steam punk to mind. So when are you going to start a gallery? Beemer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryan4130 Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 That's awesome... Reminds me of the bronze colored Porsche and R8. Looking forward to pics. Is your profile picture of the plastidip color change? Curious how metallic and dynamic/shiny plastidip could get.

modmaster Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 I was wondering if you could give me a few pointers on how to remove the sides of the front fender? I took the bolt out but it still is attached at the top. modmaster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I took the bolt out but it still is attached at the top. modmaster There are some plastic clips on the front part of the side panels that clip into some slots in the middle, black, part of the fender. If you stick your hand underneath the front you should be able to feel what I'm talking about. Just wiggle them apart with firm pressure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is your profile picture of the plastidip color change? Curious how metallic and dynamic/shiny plastidip could get. The plasti dip colors are actually really dynamic and the flat texture really shows off angles of the bike IMO are lost with gloss. I decided to get the color plasti dip offered and have it coated with an automotive flat clear coat and the pics you see are the result. I simply haven't had time to install them. I apologize for the delay but trust me this hurts me worse than it'll hurt you lol. It's also supposed to be around 112 degrees F by next Wednesday so I've got to get them on and ride before then. Will post pictures as soon as it's done. @ryan4130 the profile pic is the color I first had plasti dipped. I wasn't a huge fan of it but literally everyone else who saw it (including Yamaha reps) really liked it. The dip by itself without the automotive grade clear coat just gets really beat up within 4 months. Make it stop!....Now make it go faster!
