Title: Anyone painted a bike green?
Post by: graeme on October 18, 2005, 04:13 PM

If so, what shade did you use, Im after a shade like streetbeets, or masters. Ive been looking but cant find anything quite right, and have nothing to get the colour matched to.

i would have thought that the kawasaki colour green was close to the streetbeat colour.

sorted now, i went to my local auto paint suppliers, they had kawasaki green but it only comes as base, so i got something almost identical but in gloss.
Although i ended up laquering it anyway.
Its VERY green!
Ill update my built thread later.
