New FZ6 and color replacement....

[Bakchos]

Hello !!!

I am new here, i am back from 5 years break, took the break when the kids started coming, i use to ride a R1 2001, sold it in 2006.

I live in Canada, Quebec, the immatriculation here are crazy (1400$ a year for SS), so i choose the FZ6, cheap to insure and still very fun to drive.

Enough about me.... i plan on doing the naked conversion, i will buy the kit from fz16, but i want an all black bike,

I did some photoshop, let me know what you think

Stock

Blue and black

All black

Thanks !

Nice editting, I think the all black looks best

 

[Wolfman]

All black! :rockon:

Just remember black paint shows up swirls & scratches very easily....

:thumbup:

That's pretty cool, I have been trying to play with a different colour scheme for my wife's bike but I obviously have the wrong software...

Not a fan of all black bikes (or cars) but that is just personal opinion. Black with just a few color accents sometimes works. Good luck and welcome back.

Here is a little video montage of the color change, lets see if someone can spot the last change

You win the previlege of finding a way to paint it red without peeling off, i guess i can silicone dip it ?

 

[spock]

let's wait for our painting guru folks

I have a 2008 fz6 but my bike is fairly close to the blacked out look in your second Photoshop. Everything except for the driver pegs has been painted black.

This is a horrible picture but its all I have at work. I can get better pics later.

I vote for a completely different color.

All black with flat black accents would be hot sex!!!

What about Plasti Dip from Performix? You simply dip it in "liquid rubber", wait for it to dry before you mount it and away you go. Easy peasy! :thumbup:

Can't you order online from the States, or have a forum member send you what you need? I could do it myself, but the prices here in Norway are crazy by your standards and shipping costs would be way too high.

Maybe shipping would be cheap for a liquid paint, but for spray paint they wanted 40$ shipping for 2 cans...... i will go hunt for silicone paint in a bucket, i remember this kind of stuff for tool handles.

Thanks for helping !
