Hi all, looking to paint an old Kawasaki er500 1997. I know its not the right thing to do but I am looking to paint it red instead of black.

Its a bit of an old dog so any paint suggestions would be appreciated. Doesnt matter if its not a bike colour, something like Ferrari red or

Fire cracker red etc. Ford do a nice red on the Focus. Anybody repainted a bike red and been pleased with the result?

Check my post about spraying the fairings,

It's a Mazda metallic paint instead of traditional red honda

The result was quite good

Thanks everybody will check out the colours. Its hard to see the colours on the internet, they vary such a lot.

I was at the paint shop yesterday but they didn't have any colour chips for base coat and lacquer.

I might just go for two pack paint. john.

Keep in mind that the final colour will also depend on the primer you will be using.

I find it very strange that a paintshop doesn't have a series of sample sets for the several paint brands. The guys I've used are a small shop and they have a tonne of those, the hard bit is to choose the one you want.

By the way, make sure you see the sample strips at sunlight not under the shop lighting.
