Should have left the paint alone. Looked good before, after, just another repaint.

321,000 miles on KZ's that I can remember. Not going to see any more.

you cant really tell from the pictures, but the paint was badly faded adn chipping on the top of the tank. Was almost a white color on the top of the tank. If it was in savable condition i would have left it

The work looks awesome, but I figure if you go purple, you might as well make it a rainbow to remove all doubt. :kiss:

I think Ron has it right this time.
