    New paintjob! What do you think? (pics)

    I just got the parts from my 81 gs450e back from paint today. I think it came out great (especially for the price i paid)! As of yet, it's unassembled. Let me know what you think.





    My next goals are getting the engine and case cleaned up, removing the rear fender, mounting a new tail light and turn signals.

      And on the seventh day,after resting from all that he had done,God went for a ride on his GS!
      Upon seeing that it was good, he went out again on his ZX14! But just a little bit faster!

        Very nice. I really like the stripes. They add to the wow factor.

                            Very sweet.

                            If you don't mind the inquiry, how much did that set you back to get those parts painted? Curious as to the market rate. Did you get it done at an auto paint place?

                              Yeah, what HE said... plus, are the stripes actually reflective tape embedded under a clear coat, or is it just reflective paint?

                              SWEEEEEeeeeeeeeeeeeet....!!!!
