it will probably cost you more in paint & gear than to get it powdercoated

matt black!
don't go for another green one.
actually I reckon you could do a nice combination of matt black with ford/new zx6/dyno-rod orange.

well a little secret. a guy at work would sell me a zxr400 not running for £300 he has been told its a knackred gearbox and he has a replcement.(and i do) I have never done anythign on bikes but once worked fixing ford transits. and figure it would be nice to strip a zxr400 down and rebuild it, cleaning and painting as i go. Buti thought hey why not make it something diffrent, and and currently thinking of someways i could do something special with it. i would like a underseat exhaust, but thinking the piping would be tight.

bet it's expensive though.Diamond Like Coating is an extremely hard (3500HV) black coating applied to fork stanchions and shock shafts that is harder still than Titanium Nitride.
