Went up to the sprayers yesterday.
Base colour/s are finished. Just detailing, decals & lacquer to be done.
Should be picking everything up sometime next week :D
I'm going to let the paint harden off for at least a week before fitting but, as the old saying goes, "Watch this space".  :glasses9:

Looking forward to seeing it Kev. I'd def agree to leave for a bit to harden, I picked mine up from paint last year on a wed night, put all back together and left for TT the next morning.
Result was a few damaged areas that now need redoing.
 Watch when your getting your leg over................................

the bike  :emb:,

Thats where mine took a few blooters from the boot.

Got fed up waitin for my sprayer (pick up tomorrow... maybe  [wall] ) so here is a mock up of how she'll look. I'm shite at photoshop etc so its v rough  :emb:

The white is absolute (or as near as makes no difference) pure white. Not pearl or metallic effect.
The black on the arse end is v similar to the std color of the side panels with a slight metallic effect. Its then had a satin lacquer over the top (matt woulda been too sensitive).
Air intake at the front done black too.
Monster logo and rear "ZX-10RR" over lacquer in case I wanna take em off at some point.

Gone for a different logo on the tank...
"Swirl" and "KAWASAKI" done the same black as the rear (but under std gloss lacquer) and "Team Racing" in red to match the fairing stripes.

Thx guys. I love the look of some of the race reps Ive seen but they're a bit too "fussy" for me if you know what I mean.
I'm hoping to achieve a "Road Rep" instead. If that makes sense?
A big plus for me also is that the bike will be in my Company (Wheeltrax) colours!
