tufftom4 Posted February 20, 2013 #1 Posted February 20, 2013 I finally got the plastics back from paint it looks different from the chip I looked at but still looks good and it looks better in the sun with the metalic in it. I still have work to do on the bike before I can put them on, the only custom thing I did was there was an ugly emblem on the front fender and had the holes filled and had and airbrushed V that Voyager uses I think it came out nice. People that have Kawi Voyagers know this emblem.
bongobobny Posted February 20, 2013 #2 Posted February 20, 2013 Interesting color indeed!! Looks red but looks lavenderish red or maybe purplish red or...
SilvrT Posted February 20, 2013 #3 Posted February 20, 2013 Interesting color indeed!! Looks red but looks lavenderish red or maybe purplish red or... .... reddish P I N K I'll be lookin to see the finished product
dingy Posted February 20, 2013 #4 Posted February 20, 2013 Would you mind saying what it cost to have plastic painted? Did you prep it? Gary
stroker ace Posted February 20, 2013 #5 Posted February 20, 2013 .... reddish P I N K I'll be lookin to see the finished product Some pink pin stripes would really bring out the color of his eyes lol.
tufftom4 Posted February 20, 2013 Author #6 Posted February 20, 2013 It is supposed to be a true Maroon but came out lighter than I thought and it cost 1200$ with me taking it apart but doing no prep, it is a base coat clear coat and color sanded and polished.
stroker ace Posted February 20, 2013 #7 Posted February 20, 2013 All kidding aside it looks really good and with it back on the bike will look even better. :bighug:Agreed it is a lot of work prepping for paint work then putting it all back. I had a bike painted a few years back was supposed to be racing green turned out mint green was not that happy but looked great when everything back on the bike.
Rick Haywood Posted February 21, 2013 #8 Posted February 21, 2013 Tom the "V" on the fender looks nice. You are right about the OEM emblem it kinda sucks
CaptainJoe Posted February 21, 2013 #9 Posted February 21, 2013 If your under fluorescent or other man made lighting, it will definately change the color. "Daylight" bulbs work the best. Had a 65 mustang I restored "poppy Red". In the garage it looked orange, but in the direct sunlight...SWEEET!

Wow, my paint rates just went up! I see I am not charging nearly enough.
