I have a blue 2003 FZS600 (foxeye model), with the standard black wheels. But these are a bit chipped and scratched, so I was planning on repainting them now over the winter. I am considering changing them to silver, just a subtle change to make it a bit different to all the rest. Does anyone have a picture of a blue FZS600 with silver wheels (or is anyone a bit handy with photoshop) just so I get an idea what it might look like before I take the plunge?
Also a company near me does powder coating, would it be better to get the wheels powder coated rather than painted? (Regardless of the colour I decide on)
-
powdercoat!!..mine being done over winter?...superb finish and last alot longer!!!...loads have had it done with no problems!!....

I know of a place up north that does pink powdercoat, you know it makes sense!
-
Any body any good at photoshop, I would also like to see a fazer with silver wheels
-
If you post a pic of your fazer in here, I'll have a bash at making the wheels silver tonight when I get in from uni.
-
I'll have to take better pictures of it at the weekend, but essentially its the same as this one.

Just get a silver paint pen and paint the wheels on your computer or phone screen.
I'm one step ahead of you boys....... :lol

sorry buddy, I totally forgot about this :o
sorry for this pretty poor effort, but hopefully it gives you an idea:

+1....i liked the first one better :rollin :rollin :rollin :rollin

This was the colour scheme of my old R1 streetfighter before I colour coded the wheels blue. Looks pretty good if you ask me!
-
Looks ok but they might take some keeping clean. When my black ones get black they are still err..black.
-
I think they look really good, its something a bit different from all the other Fazers.
Thanks for your help.

I'm not a fan of "fluorescent", Clive. Seriously? Just the same yellow as the other paint imo. Or yellow wheel stripes I think would look good on black (again, matching the paint). But what the heck, it's all personal taste isn't it? What do I know..... :\ FFS, some people actually like red!! :rollin
