Default Finally My Paintjob is done - Sticker Reccomendations? - NEWBIE

Hi All

I am a newbie here and I bought a 94 CBR 1000 F (R) sometime in July this year, after much advice from a friend who has a similar bike but the 92 Model. Its a great bike. Its heavy but I soon got used to it. I am from Malaysia and been in this forum for about a month now reading all past threads and learning a lot from you guys. So I hope to contribute as well. Thanks for all the advise / ideas I received regarding my recent painjob after personal messaging some of the forumners who gave me some excellent ideas and as promised I will post some photos

Absolutely beautiful !! Looks like someone did a lot of wet sanding to get that finish. Really nice job !!

Very nice job - the paint job looks great. To be honest, I think it looks better without all the stickers. But it's your bike, do what makes you happy. GOOD JOB!

Incredible nice work ! I agree with previous posts, the graphic doesn't need more sticker that may clutter the overall impression, which is absolutely great as is.

If your looking for original looking decals, try Ebay. I bought a set on there for $40 US and he sells all colors including chrome. I like the bike as is, why clutter up a good thing with stickers.

Great job. Bet you love the finish. Those colours stand out well and make it look like new. As for the decals, if you cant find what your looking for then you could consider having them airbrushed on. Good luck.

Thanks all for your comments / praises

mdfirefighter, I am also looking forward to see your completed bike.

Yeah, I am quite happy with the finishing. Just gotta be hard working to maintain that shine.

I somewhat agree with the sticker comment as well. It does look nice without stickers. Maybe a subtle sticker here and there will do. In Malaysia it is quite easy to get stickers done. most of the artwortk can be downloaded from this site and quite cheap as well.

Just take it to sticker shop and they will do the rest.

Cheers
