Guest bobbyo Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 As most of you will agree, the early YZF 750 R is a beatiful yet girly coloured machine. Mine is the white with pink flashes here and there. I've seen some pics on the net of the pink bits in red and it makes all the difference. I got a quote from a local spray place at £450 - £900 depending on various scenarios. That is way out of my league. Anyone got any tips. Any direct sticker replacements to go over the pink? Cheers.

Moderator Airhead Posted June 16, 2009 Moderator Share Posted June 16, 2009 Use red nail varnish. ...or try your local signwriters, they can make you some vinyl graphics to stick over the pink ones... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

little dave Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 how bout a jacket patch that says "girl bike delivery service" i suppose some patience and a rattlecan are just completely out of the question? seriously. if you prime and sand with 400 grit and paint slowly in thin layers with a decent brand, you can experience good results. also you can use a clear overcoat for that deep rubbed look.

Dac1915 Posted June 24, 2009 Share Posted June 24, 2009 I had the same issue a short while ago. Although I loved my bike, I hated the colors. I started off taking all the stickers off; this was a royal pain in the arse, lots of Zippo fluid made it happen though. I used "carbon fiber" print sticker (10$ a roll) to cover the blotts on the tank, and some pinstripe to subdue the orange stripe. I took some tracing paper and drew out the shape of the "blotts" then just laid the trace on the back side of the carbon fiber sticker and cut it out. Then I got some R7 graphics, simply because I could not find any YZF750R graphics anywhere for a fair price. I painted the wheels high gloss black, chopped the fender off and put flush mount signals on. Presto chango, now I like the way it looks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
