Having a BBQue again! - packie - 05-04-13
....paint on my Fazer...that is!!
As the Fazer is my all year round hack, I decided (like my last Bandit 600) that I couldn't be bothered to keep on top of all the shiney bits from rusting or getting pitted during winter. So my solution as always, is to sort of "half rat it" and paint all my shiney bits black!!
I also lost a bit of weight and halfed my end can too!!
Thanks for Looking!!! 8)

did you use primer or sandpaper for any of it? or did you just paint it? looks good!

Straight on out of the can. I just give it a going over when things get manky over the winter. Simple to maintain and it keeps it surprisingly neat looking all year round. It wouldn't be everyones cuppa tea.

The black looks good - the white wheels must be hard to keep clean.

Looks good. I'm tempted now.

Very nice.
What paint did you use?
How did you pit it on?
And
Can you do mine?

Not too bad in dry weather....but in wet weather they get dirty real fast. Was tossing a coin as to spray them, but declined as I like the white, and also they only take 10 mins to bring back like new.

....or something similar.

Just careful handspraying, no sanding, primer or lacquer used.
And
Can you do mine?
