First rule of used cars: An ounce of shine is worth a pound of performance.
Next rule: A color change done well is way more work than you expected. Otherwise you devalue the car.
Next rule: It's your car, so you can do whatever you want.

My suggestion: Keep it white, but maybe go with a pearl fininsh.

a white with a hint of pearl is very nice looking!! Not crazy pearl, but just subtle enough so you can notice it from <10 feet away

White Power!

Yup...

But doing it right and perfect is very difficult and time consuming.


Paint it flat black if you can't afford to properly splash the car. That way you can tell people its just primer as opposed to trying to pass off a half *** camo job as being good.

It doesn't help much with the fuel. Still eats mad fuel.
Riding a sportbike is a 'sport'. It hurts. Crashes hurt more. Higher Percentage of Injuries or Death than driving a car. (Obviously)
I'm getting old... ****!

K6 is about 9-12G

600,750, or 1000?

GoodLuck.
