i got this job because of the honda i repainted. this one was also recently laid down butnot nearly as bad as the honda. i just started on it today the blue will be the same, front fender will stay black, and the white you see will be changed to black also. few pics so far.

ran into a snag at the paint supply, that blue turns out to be factory suzuki Mica Blue Candy, ouch candy???????? not my cup of tea i have never sprayed candy, and never want to lol my 2 stage paints are what im used to and i'll stick with it. i called the owner of the bike to tell him that just a pint of the factory paint was gonna cost $150 bucks without clear, YOWWWW!!!!! so i grabbed the chroma base chips and matched up dodge viper blue like on the gts's almost a dead match but a simple 2 stage. the owner is happy on this decision instead plus it will be much easier to match, and a qt only cost 37 bucks, thats more up this guys alley!!! bike should be painted by thursday hopefully i'm home for supper and making killer time on the bike so far. i'll update with new pics tomorrow if i get some free time.
 
yes i was wrong its a GSX600F katana whatever i had two different people tell me what kind of bike he had and only one was right lol. i looked on the sticker for myself to see for sure. this is why i paint stuff but dont own them, i'm not into bikes, to me, every bike says suicide all over it. this kids arm and shoulder look like raw hamburg from this little spill. next time it may be his head.
 
well painting is done, finished around 11:30 tonight started priming around 8 oclock. its now viper blue and the front and rear fenders are smoked charcoal metallic black, looks sharp, but the camera went dead as i was taking pics of everything finished and cleared so this is as far as i got on pics. tomorrow i should have the bike all back together then i can wet sand and buff it all and put back on some of the factory decals. considering the factory mica blue is a 3 stage candy, and the viper blue i sprayed is a 2 stage, thats about as close as you could get for it looking the same, it almost looks like the blue wasnt repainted, minus the damage!

NICK, HOW ABOUT THIS WEEKEND? MAYBE YOU CAN DROP THEM OFF FRIDAY AND I CAN GET THE PAINT AND DO THEM OVER THE WEEKEND? LET ME KNOW.
 
Looks great man! I would have had you do some custom work since you where doing a complete repaint!
 
heres the final pics of the bike today after i repainted the rear grab bar and installed it. he came and got it today and was blown away, seriously i am not trying to make my work sound amazing, this kid was absolutely blown away, he loved it and couldnt stop walking around it looking. he loved my choice of color on the fenders too, he was expecting a plain old black, but i went the extra mile and sprayed the smoked metallic charcoal black on them instead and he loves it. very cool kid i am happy i got to make him that happy. he must have said thank you 100 times!!!
he's getting the rip in the seat fixed next week too.
