Well, I finally got around to having the bike repainted. I've never liked the factory color and I know a lot of people don't like black but I've wanted my bike repainted like this for sometime so what do you think?

Before: And you can't tell in this pic but the fairings were very scratched up with cracks and paint chips.


After: The color is actually the old Acura Integra Type R pearl black. It's hard to tell in the pics though.




I had the mirrors painted too.

And the plastic siding.

 

Those intake covers look outstanding, the whole bike came out great. Much better. I like the bare aluminum against the black.
BTW, I think you need lock-tite on the bar-ends

 

I hate all black, but hey, it's your bike not mine. Looks well done.

 

Haha, I wondered if someone else would notice. I just bought the new black ones but the screws don't fit. I have the screws that will on order.

Thanks!

 

i personally love all black when done right and you sir did it right. the intake covers were a good touch

 

Nice looking. Mine is all black too, but not by choice, it came that way when I purchased it.

Looks good. Are you putting some decals back on?

 

It looks good man. Wet sand and buff the clear coat and it will look even better

 

At first I was but I'm actually thinking of just leaving it the way it is.

 

Hey, Im in need of painting my 03 f4i, was wondering how much it cost for your paintjob, mine is all black, with a silver front end (use to bed a red/black bike) but I got hit by a car in august, not bad, just scratches, but the ranges I have been getting recently are mostly around 600$ for the entire bike black (Including the nice touch of intake covers painted)

What was your price if you dont mind telling me

 

Nice paint job..really clean..
