Beemer Posted November 24, 2017 Share 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. Beemer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigturbomax Posted November 24, 2017 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Global Moderator sorkyah Posted November 25, 2017 Global Moderator Share 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 ATGATT... ATTATT, two acronyms I live by. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlbatrossCafe Posted November 26, 2017 Share Posted November 26, 2017 Awesome! I love the bronze exhaust header color combined with that green. You should try to incorporate that more (bronze wheels?)
