Thom Posted March 21, 2010 Share #1 Posted March 21, 2010 Most of us know what factory paint looks like and i think Yamaha has some good colors . Buuuuuuuuuuuuut you know their are a few of us that can,t leave well enough alone . so i would like to start a thread on pic's of our after market paint jobs and why we can't leave well enough alone , i'll start , sense i have painted mine 3 time in less than 3 years ! when i got mine it had a ruff life and looked pretty bad , my so called friends that i rode with where at the same feeling as me - don't care what you ride as long as you ride - until i showed up with my faded brown 1 gen , very faded brown , it was the same color of a well fed dog leaves behind . the day that i made up my mind to paint her is when i was following a friend and a another rider came up beside my friend and told him he need to change his diet because he is leaving ruff looking turds behind him , enough said , my bike got the 1st paint job ! this is the only pic's of it when it was brown . the pic and a lot of wax made it look a lot better than it was than the Met. silver with ice green next it blue and a few mods , that was after a nice lady backed over it , at present 3 stage Met white with Met. blue I showed y'all mine , now it's your turn !

Black Owl Posted March 21, 2010 Share #6 Posted March 21, 2010 That is one fine looking white scoot you got there Thom. Only thing that would make it look better is a set of white leather Hootie Booties to replace those black ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest human4m Posted March 22, 2010 Share #12 Posted March 22, 2010 Well, mine NOW has the Blue/Prizmacoat on it, and for some reason, I'm finding myself tempted to repaint it yet AGAIN! This is Paint Job #2, I'm trying to decide if I want to do #3! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

timgray Posted March 22, 2010 Share #16 Posted March 22, 2010 Mine is in a metallic Firemist Orange. a color from the 1970's. Over that is a custom erriedes paint effect that has some color airbrushing and overall covered in a gold+red metalflake under the clear. It looks incredible in the sunlight all polished up. It's my first paintjob on a bike... I did have some help from a friend that won tons of awards doing hotrod paint though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
