Default I painted my bike!

Pictures don't do this paint ANY where near the justice it deserves. Crazy pearl in it. Very yellow/green. I love it. Sooooooooooo bright.

BTW this bike needed some body work. I didn't do any. Yes the tail is broke by the tail light. It is a 15 year old bike so I don't care at all. It looks 10000xs better than before. Just sanded it and painted it. The paint hides a decent amount though. Now just to glow it up.

I plan on buying a kawi next year. I just love those bikes for some reason. And I have always loved the green.

This is my Hondasaki.

Oh hell yeah. Massive improvement. Looks pretty shiny! I think it would look better with a black honda wing on the tank.

Looks great Kornholio. I love to see a nice shiny finish. People won't miss you going by. It definitely needs something "Honda" on it though.

Thumbs up

Ha great job!

I've just done the same to mine - was pink before, all black now with matt vs shiny like the R1.

How long did it take you?

I am a painter. I used all the highest quality paints/clears with a spray gun.

Did you put any flex additive in your paint or not? I hear some people do and other's really don't.
