Sweet lookin' machine !!!

 

DONE !!!



KIDDING !!!
This was a "photoshop" excercise...

And here, a much older photo, before the recent "surgery", and with the bikini fairing green too...



I wanted the desired result to be in my "minds eye" before I tear into the paintwork.

I am now fully convinced, and motivated...

First, phenomenal job so far. 
I’m a big green Kawasaki fan but… the red just works on those older models. My .02 

Just to be controversial, what about the super rare white ? go on, dare to be different 

 

Guys, guys... the green train has left the station already, I'm psyc'd.

When I was 15, my Dad bought me my first  Kawasaki...(Thanks Dad!)
I wanted a green, 1981 AR50 A1, and that's what we ordered.
6 weeks was a long wait for a teenager...

When they opened the crate at the dealership, 18 December 1981, it was Firecracker Red!
But, it was love at first sight!
That little machine meant FREEDOM!



42 years on, I still want my green Kawasaki... And I'm going to have it, even if I have to paint it green myself.

  I was going to say "I like white", but perhaps that's not PC.

It absolutely is Personal Choice   just playing it was pretty clear that it was going green (a buddy of mine had a white 1000R from new - I loved it)

Ok, green it is. What green though?

This green... 

 

Now that’s what I call green. No, I meant to say GREEN!

I did a quick cross-check of the green, with an on-line photo of a genuine ELR, and the pic I took of my paint...
I cut out a small rectangle from the photo of my paint, and pasted it into the ELR photo...

I "looks" pretty darn close !

The paint color was achieved by showing the color-match technician a picture of a Lawson Replica, on my phone!
(no color code I'm afraid)
