Yeah a few here and there where I got in a hurry to get it done before the weekend ended my buddys at work all ragged on me bc I was using spray paint but at the end of the day they didnt talk shit and one said it actually looked pretty good all u need is some 800 to 1000 grit for the first layer I did 2 layers of primer 1600 grit after first and 2000 after second and 2000 grit inbetween every layer of black just take ur time preferably in inside with no wind I did it outside though lol and just keep the paint back far enough to just add light layers so u dont get runs in the paint

[FJCharlie]

Well my bike had like 5 layers of paint on it already so it would have taken a year to sand to the bottom layer I just sanded till everthing was no longer smooth if u can make it to the bottom layer that is better just make sure not to scratch up the fiber glass with to hard of a sand paper bc u will see it. I have not clear coated it I wanted to see if it was going to peel or anythibg forst as a trial run next year right before the season im gonna pull it give it a good quick sanding and get the few runs out take it inside somewhere and add another layer or 2 then clear so shes good for the year. I aqquired all my tips and tricks via youtube lol

I used rustoleum black from walmart bc I liked the way the can sprayed even if u had to tilt it a little bit about 4 bucks a can u need 2 cans or primer I used rustoleum car primer and like 4 to 5 cans of black

i bought everything on aliexpress.com its basically plug n play, theres a thread on mods i did.

clear blinkers were like 20$ but shipping was something like 30-40$ also on aliexpress, type gsxf or katana blinkers theres only 1 seller for those.

thanks for detailed info on paint job, maybe ill do the same, will educate via youtube

I have just bought a 93 1100 GSXF, color is jet black, but I cannot find a 93 1100 with original all black color scheme. Although I have checked the bike over to determine if its been repainted, I do not see evidence of that. All black Kats were starting year 94 not 93 as far as I can research.. or were there some released all black in 93 if not then this bike might have been repainted. Any comments thanks

With no decals on the bike I would guess a repaint also possibility of switching fairings with a 94 or another compatable year if they sanded it good and painted it right u shouldnt be able to find evidence of a paint job good painter

Gotta agree that the older kats do look better black then the original silver. Mine was supposed to be semi-gloss frame and glossy body panels and tank but the powder cost guy messed up and made the frame shiny so I just switched it up and went with the semi-gloss on the tank and panels. I couldn't really complain about the mistake with the shiny powder coat on the frame since I got all my powder coating done free in exchange for it being the first thing powder coated by a new company, it was their initial test of their equipment and turned out beautiful. Now I'm glad he messed up cuz I think the semi-gloss looks great on the body panels and tank
