Help with replica OEM paintjob for 1989 GSXR 750 please..

I managed to score a 89 GSXR 750. What I would like to do is get a quality replica paintjob, factory as possible colorwise. PM Chicanes, all the parts of the era..

Somewhere in the past, there was a guy here who was doing paint, I can't seem to find the thread anymore.

So.. who can point me in the right direction, Pic of it's current state and what I'm after as follows..

And no I did not mod/lower/pipe the bike, it's how I got it..

Thanks for the help.

 

depending on how much you wanna spend......there's andrew swenson designs 804-869-8689. http://andrewswensondesign.com/ he's in va. or if you're around atlanta....pauleez paint does sick replica work. 770-246-0390 http://www.pauleez.com/pauleez/Home.html you can't go wrong w/ either one.:up:

 

Thanks Skip:up:

I had a custom paint thread up on here for years. Either way, I can nail that one down to the last hairline detail if you are interested. Shoot me a PM/email, or feel free to give me a call anytime and I'd be glad to talk with you about whats involved. I think the old-school stuff is pretty cool too, so I'd enjoy working on it.

Man, you are gonna hate that bike.
Personally I'd sell that pig and get an 86/87!
I will say one good thing about my '89 - Fucker went straight real well!

Good Luck, and again, my apologies...

 

That was the thread I was looking for..

I'll send a PM..

Thanks for the quick info guys.

 

Hey I am doing the same thing with my 86' GSX-R1100 project bike.
It is at a local custom bike paint shop I have used for work for several years & those panels should be done in a few weeks.
I went a slightly different route though; OEM "plus" paint job.
Found some guy in the area that had a bit thrashed blue & white 86' running around & he let me take his bike along with my bodywork over to this custom paint shop. They took careful measurements of all the stripes, did the color matching while we waited & came up with a plan on what colors to use for the various stripes on the bike. Decided to go with a white microflake with a little pearl in it as a base coat, the 2 different blue stripes will be color matched blue microflake & the decals on the bike will be airbrushed on. So no stickers on this bike & from about 15 feet away will just look like a clean original - that's the plan. Just taking Jerry some time but that's OK, as I am still working on building that engine...

Good luck with your project :up:

 

Not true, especially now that you can't get any good tires in 18".

My 86' GSX-R1100 has had a set of later model 17" wheels off a 91' on it since 94'.
Just need reducer sleeves, bend out that rear brake caliper locating arm & shim out the front calipers a little bit.

Found me a Marvic Magnesium rear for it in back in late 10' on Ebay. That is a 17" x 5.5" which barely will fit in that swingarm. Still looking for a Marchesini or Marvic front though...

 

Oh yea, back to the topic.

+1 for Davis R&C!!!

 

Topic?

There was a topic deviation?

 

+1 on DSWENS!

He painted my new set of bodywork, and it came out ridiculously awesome!
