Paint ya bike, farkin matt black!

I've just spent an hour in the garage with a certain persons ZX7R front guard, farkin matt black and needs knockin back before I can primer it ready for moulding.

It's the shittiest, dirtiest paint I've ever had the misfortune to work with, it's like soot, farkin orrible.

So even if ya think it looks cool to paint a bike matt black for the time being until 'I paint it properly'.....DONT

On the other hand when it's all done it will look pretty smhick and I will be able to offer then ZX9R/ZX6R and ZX7R front guards(in glass or carbon) to club members at extremley competitive rates

Bring on the ZX10s



ps..... All proceeds go to 'The get Damon back on the road in the summer fund'

Cheers guys

ummmm...why not...????

ya kids use it for a blackboard???





hehehe

You should have got that certain person to clean it off himself.

Sorry Damon I'll have to make it up 2 you

Micks in for some fun then isn't he..

Might get you to come over and tidy up my trailer, thats got about 10 cans of supercheaps finest paint in a can on it...

G'day Damon. You interested in doing some carbon bits for the 10? I was thinking the plastic side panel bits under the seat might look alright.

what about a gloss black.

that's just a bitch to keep clean!!!
or worse, a metallic charcoal like my car, that's a fricking nightmare and i've given up on washing it, i just claim the dust protects the paintwork!

Is that the same excuse for your GPX Wheels?

Hey, did you know Mikes wheels have polished edges....???

I didn't until I wiped some dirt of em one day..

Oh sweet lord im never going to live that down..
I wouldnt say polished as much as "a slightly metallic grey".

and on that note, at least the RF doesn't have polished rims, so i can keep my sense of pride that little bit less damaged

But the sticker job on it is something else alltogether, im going to have to lash out a bit of coin in the upcoming months to get rid of those stickers and return her to a bit more of a sane colour scheme.
