Thanks guys. I'm starting to think about new paint for next year and am looking for ideas. I've been thinking about doing something that is inspired by the original scheme, but with contemporary colors and materials. While finding pics of z1s isn't a problem, finding pics of the original colors and stripe designs for the early 1000s has been harder. I love the orange/brown and green z1s so much that I might just use them as a pattern.

Heres a site I found with original early 900/1000s (even if a lot are euro spec)

The 1977 KZ1000 blue and red factory paint jobs were done in a tri coat candy color system by Kawasaki back then. The blue had a solid burnt orange base coat, a silver flake mid coat, and a candy blue top coat, stripped then cleared. I don't know how you get a base coat / clear coat color to match that original Tricoat candy color.
