Didn't like the color... so I repainted

[cybrnathan]

I wasn't too crazy about the black/blue scheme that came on the bike, and there were chips and dings from the previous owner I wanted to fix anyway. I got some rattle-can paint, did a lot of wet-sanding, put on some clear and here you go:



Went from this:


to this:


I'm going to buy these graphics from alloutgraphics.com to put on also:


I'm still debating on whether to paint the tail and fender white as well. I also painted the mirrors a flat black. What do you think I should do?

[Snapp600]

That looks good! I like the kats in white. I would paint mine but i don't have the patience for all the sanding. Lol! That and the wife would lose patience as i have spent enough time learning this thing and working on it as it is.
Besides, im about to start all over when i pick up the r80 this week. Got to try and focus on one toy at a time... :/

I like it the way it is...Fender/tail = to much white? I guess there's only one way to find out. Nice job!

[KATANA-BRASIL]

Nice job congratulations and I like white collor in bikes

[Wreckie29]

Looks good!

[DerrickJr]

Awe man. I was partial to the blue.

[Tuner Auto]

I like the white

[Mojoe]

anything is better than blue.

[Wild-Bill]

I like the white better than the blue and the tail looks kinda pasted on. The problem with going all white, though is that you'll look like you're riding a refrigerator. How about something like this:

It's a European-only stock paint job for the '89 1100 Kat but I think it looks pretty sharp.

I think you have just provided the best description of riding a stock Katana I've ever heard.

[Scout]

Might as well finish the job. White tail, white wheels with red rim tape, white hand grips, white and red riding gear.

Or...you could leave it as is, I guess. That's ok too.

[Big92Kat]

Very nice.

Bahahaha!

I'm wrestling with color scheme ideas for my Gladius right now... It's tough to know how much is too much. I may play with it in Photoshop if I have time.
