Lunchbox87km 25 Posted November 24, 2017 Been waiting on the bike to be finished an it finally is. The color came out better than I could wish for.

Beemer 4,060 Posted November 24, 2017 Nice looking paint job and nice shade of green! Did you paint it yourself and if so, spray can or other? # of coats, clear coat/what kind? The process in short. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bigturbomax 257 Posted November 24, 2017 Yeah my buddy in the body shop did the paint in a booth with pro tools using a Ford color called "highland green metallic" from the special edition bullit mustang. Im not sure how much clear he used, but it is GLOSSY in person. Came out real good. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm new to this site and I just got the fz07 one week ago. Do you keep your bike in a garage or covered and what other mods have you done to yours, I'm trying to get ideas about what to do next besides getting a windscreen or fender delete Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sorkyah 1,450 Posted November 25, 2017 I keep my bike garaged at night, but during the day it sits in the arizona sun during class and work I have too many mods... i really should go through and start a thread/journal about it but havent gotten around to it. But needless to say its probably easier to do a vid/ walkaround 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
