    Talking CBR 900RR needs new paint. Update now painted!

    So I decided on the way home from VBC I need to do something about my 900rr's appearance. The PO ghetto urban camo ain't working for me. Any thoughts?

    option 5: give it to Robbie Nigel @ Peach Pit Racing, and have it look good

    I saw the cow in the 3 minutes I was at the bean today. Rather hard to miss.

    I'd go with the Minolta fairings though.

    Another option is a set of 93' R/W/B with the gas tank I located.

    I think a professional paint job may not fit my budget.

    Re: CBR 900RR needs new paint

    I vote anything but leave it alone. I wouldn't go with cheap hong kong stuff that isn't going to fit right, I'd fix what you have. Aside from the horrible paint it doesn't look like there's anything wrong with it. If you don't want to paint it yourself, and you don't want to pay for a professional job, there's always the middle ground...

    Re: CBR 900RR needs new paint

    I like the Castrol Honda look myself. Although if I were to 'just do anything', I'd go with a Fireblade layout/scheme but use the color combos from the RC51...

    you're going to paint over a hambone original? jk pretty sure the last owner is a member here...definately at BoRn

    as for the topic..i would stay away from those cheapo plastics unless you know someone personally that has ahd good results..personally, i'd go with OEM stuff or paint what was on there...

    I asked the PO if he was on NESR and he said no

    I know he mentioned 1 down 5 up.
