tomek Posted April 15, 2007 Posted April 15, 2007 Well,it has been long winter,I had to find something to do,,,,,,,, Here is the result Exhibit # 1.Paint job 1.2 My 04 r1. The two tone job looked kind of boring,so I decided to add 48 th anniv. Yamaha racing stripe.1.1 was with just red wheels.The stripe is a real paint,not decals.In case if you wonder, that is about 8 hr job,with multipe coats ,color sanding,masking,etc. All paint is House of Kolor,FBC02 Orion Silver,FBC05 Lapis Blue,wheels and stripes,Kosmos Red Sg115 and Pbs43 Black pearl. http://www.cbr1100xx.org/forums/gallery/11..._498_194266.jpg http://www.cbr1100xx.org/forums/gallery/11..._498_247336.jpg http://www.cbr1100xx.org/forums/gallery/11..._498_266022.jpg Exhibit #2.paint job 7.0 The most recent job was 2 tone galaxy gray and lapis blue,but it was just too plain,decided to start again.The end result is 3 tone full candy job. Blue is 6 coats of oriental blue,UK04 over sg108 so blue.Some dry pearls,for a sparkle, were added to first couple of coats of candy. Two bottom colors,it is actually 6 coats of Spanish Gold,UK14,over MBC01 Pale Gold,top,and bottom,Sg103 molly orange. http://www.cbr1100xx.org/forums/gallery/11..._498_227137.jpg http://www.cbr1100xx.org/forums/gallery/11...7_498_88006.jpg http://www.cbr1100xx.org/forums/gallery/11..._498_170419.jpg http://www.cbr1100xx.org/forums/gallery/11...7_498_68600.jpg http://www.cbr1100xx.org/forums/gallery/11..._498_182109.jpg I still have to install and paint my Duck ST side cases and I guess Givi top case needs sides and bottom painted,It looks goofy the way it is now,,,,,, BTW,all decals on both bikes are 9.99 ebay deals,,,,,,,,, Dont like it ?,Well,,,,,,,,,,,,it is tough s---t Quote
JasonW Posted April 16, 2007 Posted April 16, 2007 BTW,all decals on both bikes are 9.99 ebay deals,,,,,,,,, Damn man, sorry to hear you got screwed. I really like the R1's scheme and the XX should look good in the next "Pride" parade. Quote
rideonXX Posted April 16, 2007 Posted April 16, 2007 Very good-----and you sure get it done a lot faster than I do. Happy trails kel Quote
Flitemdic Posted April 16, 2007 Posted April 16, 2007 The R1, I have no comment on. Not being a Yamaha man, I feel unqualified. The other bike, however, well, there is just one thing to say. Nice job, I like the top to bottom fade on the sides. Quote
MrBadExxample Posted April 16, 2007 Posted April 16, 2007 Wow dude, bold move. I really dig the R1 paint job. The rims are visually a little distracting. The XX paint job is a bit shocking. I like it, very European, no? Quote
kiwimack Posted April 16, 2007 Posted April 16, 2007 you work for crayola? or are you just lacking attention? Do you have a big red nose, water pistol in your helmet and fuck off big shoes to go with the bird? nice job tho its your bike................ :icon_shifty: NBL Quote
tomek Posted April 16, 2007 Author Posted April 16, 2007 Nice job! But, your tire is flat Well,it is my cousin`s redneck solution to German engineering,,,,,,,,,,,parking brakes don`t work on that VW Do you have a big red nose, water pistol in your helmet and fuck off big shoes to go with the bird? NBL When I bolted the bike back together,I had a thought in my mind,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,"s--t,,,I`ve seen this color combo before,,,,but were,???????????" Now I know. C`mon people, lighten up,,,,,,,,,,,,,,It is fricking motorcycle,not religion,politics,etc,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,non riding population thinks we are crazy,stupid,etc,anyway,does not matter what we do,how we behave,etc. Well,,,,,,,,,,it is not my job to prove them wrong. BTW as far as I know I`m not a gay,,,,,,,,,but I`ve not taken a part in any of XX meetings,,,,,,,,never know for sure,,,,,,,,,,,,,I`ve seen "strange" photos,,,,,,,,,, Quote
LogoMan Posted April 16, 2007 Posted April 16, 2007 "Honest officer, it wasn't me," sure won't work anymore. Nice job. It's good to be different. Quote
airborneXX Posted April 17, 2007 Posted April 17, 2007 Do the colors on the XX have any significance? Quote
dunedain Posted April 17, 2007 Posted April 17, 2007 That's fresh for sure. It looks like a quality work and not really my style but when I had mine repainted I painted it black.....boring compared to your vison. Quote
Furious Posted April 17, 2007 Posted April 17, 2007 :icon_clap: Way to step out of the safe zone with the paint on the Bird! Are you bringing it to OzarXX? Quote
SGT Ski Posted April 17, 2007 Posted April 17, 2007 Bring it to OzarXX he just repainted it from what I've heard you re paint after OzarXX Quote
