Thanks guys. It will only take a couple of hours to wet sand it with 400, and spray another coat to get a good gloss. I put the paint on to heavy and it started to do some weird stuff. I won't get as greedy next time. Then I have to figure out what colors I want in the grafix. Should look pretty sweet I hope. It seems the 750 twins are pretty plain and boring when they are painted solid like this without any extra stripes.

Ok dudes. I repainted the bike yesterday. Turned out sweet this time! I used a different spray gun and loved it. B) What do ya'll think? Look a little better than with the fairing and the luggage box?

I love that blue on your 750. Nice work.

Personally, I would resist the urge to paint the frame to match the body work. Too much of a good thing, you know! :laugh:

Ok Kawi dudes... Made some more progress. The stripe kit is installed and I am officialy done with phase 1. I may just stop here because I like the fairly stock look that I have going. What ya thinks?

Went for a really nice ride yesterday. The weather was perfect. Here is another shot... Riding this bike today is sure different once you are getting used to a ZX-6!
