This is a really noce project, I love these Gpz's, I used to have a turbo back in London in 1989, Fookin loved that bike, loved the riding position.
Great project... :)
thanks, i picked up some different green tonight. should be a bit brighter, more like the standard kwak green of yesteryear. ill update when i spray some color.
got some color down today. the green is hot rod green 500degree engine paint:D the white is still krylon fusion. I think im going to paint the front fender green instead of blue. Dont know if im going to put blue on the tank or not, maybe just a little bit.

Actually that looks better than the Bimota-esque, tri-color, boiled lolly look mate, well to me anyway.
That greens definitely better, but I don't know whether the first paint scheme looked better or not due to the less white? Can't put my finger on it.......
Looks great, This is a great project.. :)
im really torn about blue and where to put it on the tank. One thing comes to mind. put it right next to the green but leave the entire side(stock graphic location) white. Another idea is to have a blue graphic, totally seperate from the green in the stock location on the side carried onto the tail section. I might have to wait til i finish the tail to decide because im having trouble visualizing it.
you should get a thin stripe of blue between the green and the white on the tank jus to hit the blue off would look good!
was thinking the same thing
just a blue pinstripe tween the green and white
Do a photoshop mock up mate, then you'll know.
Hmmm Lotus Cortina!
lookin ace matt.....i reckon a pinstripe would go goodbetween the green and white like.. next said
i did a quick photo job on the comp and it looks good with a blue stripe on the green edge but its still alot of white. Dont know what to do about that. Might have to come up with some LOGO. Ill tape it out once the weather looks back up. It was 55F on saturday and snowing on sunday. Today it was 11F when i left the house. Something aint right.
How bout a nice big ol'official streetfighters knuckle duster logo, in blue! [:p]
ive been thinking about it, we will see :) Ive been thinking about a big one, that you can only see half of. ill have to play around with some tape.
If you want a hand mate let me know. I am a graphic designer and can get any idea you have to cut ready status for you (if you don't know how to do it yourself of course, which I'm guessing you do!)
ive got a little time on it but a good friend that i work with is also a graphic designer. I appreciate the offer though!!! Who knows, i might not put anything on it so people really dont know what it is. When i had the gpz750 side panels on i still got comments asking what it was. maybe because its 24years old. :-D
it was too cold but i threw down some color anyways. just so i could see if i like the new colors. the blue should match the rims and the green is closer to kaw lime green like i wanted.

That shade is much better than the 'look at faggotty me' lime green on Kwaka's
Should look pretty trick once it's all done.
