Posted September 5, 201410 yr Anyone knows where I can find OEM Yamaha paint matching the FZ-07 colors? Not much help on their web site.
September 6, 201410 yr You always have the answer Guru, I love it. Guru is truly a guru. Everything went braap.
September 6, 201410 yr I found Race Blu in spray cans and touch-up pens on Amazon. I wouldn't doubt it if they have the other colors. If you want a link to it I haven't ordered it yet but I think I saved it to my wish list, so I should be able to send you a link to what I found. I think it was ~$33 for a can of color and a can of clear. Life is good on 2 wheels!

September 7, 201410 yr The panels that are the only painted bits are not that expensive so if you are thinking of a color change that may be the way to go.
September 7, 201410 yr I want the orange from the FZ-09. Orange is my company color and let's admit, that particular orange is really nice! I want my baby orange. That's one of the reasons I went with white. Easy to cover with any other color. Does anyone know about painting the plastics? Do I have to sand the clear off or is there a paint that will adhere directly to it? Make it stop!....Now make it go faster!

September 25, 201410 yr Having painted plastics on cars before, this is what I've done and found that works really well. 1. Lightly WET sand clear coat surface with 320 grit wet sand paper till surface is dull (no shining spots) 2. wipe down with wax cleaner (using gloves, don't use bare hands because of natural oils on fingers), prevents bubbling from contaminants. 3. right before spraying paint wipe down surface with a Tack cloth If you don't sand or at least scuff the clear coat then it can start peeling later down the road.
