jhonore Posted May 8, 2017 Share Posted May 8, 2017 I have a 2015 red fz07. I don't really like the silver. Gonna paint my foot guards, if that that's what it is called, flat black using duplicolor spray can. Has anyone done this before? I'm gonna sand it down using 600 grit wet sand paper, clean, and start painting. Wish it would have just came black from the factory. I think the grey and highlighter yellow already come black.

jhonore Posted May 11, 2017 Author Share Posted May 11, 2017 Very nice. I am almost tempted to do the same. Yeah definitely paint it. I picked up a can of matte black duplicolor from autozone for under $10. Tip. Don't do thick coats. Light coats for every layer. When reassembling the rear brake side. Take your time. Lining up the master cycling with the backing plate, which is spring loaded with the foot guards can be a little difficult, scratched a little paint off where the screw goes. Not noticeable unless you really look at it up close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fz07nc Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 Sort of on a related note... I plastidipped these parts black and it began to wrinkle [most likely due to heat]. If anyone is leaning towards plasti-dip, I'd recommend a regular paint or better yet, high-heat/temp paint instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If anyone is leaning towards plasti-dip, I'd recommend a regular paint or better yet, high-heat/temp paint instead. Yeah I was considering plasti dip, then thought about it peeling. I've been riding it for over a week now, a few hundred miles. It's holding up great so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sansnombre Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 FWIW - you absolutely will have problems with how they look as the surfaces get abraded by your foot/shoe/leg movement. It's only a matter of time. Any spray can of paint has thinners and other additives to make the paint flow well, and it's nowhere near as durable as auto paint sprayed from a traditional setup. You might try painting over it with clear - that will help for a while, but it will give you a glossier finish. I purchased the black parts for one of the other years and just replaced them on my bike. Wasn't too expensive and I didn't have to take the time to spray, etc. Good luck with it.

mitchrapp Posted June 2, 2017 Share Posted June 2, 2017 I tried to vinyl wrap mine over the weekend. I ended up messing it up and removing it. I'll try it again if I get some free time. It's a challenging wrap job, but it should work as I've wrapped more difficult parts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhonore Posted June 2, 2017 Author Share Posted June 2, 2017 Mine are still holding up well after a few weeks, roughly 500miles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhonore Posted June 3, 2017 Author Share Posted June 3, 2017 Anybody have any experience powder coating these parts? I think that's what I'm gonna do. If your willing to powder coat them you might as well just buy them in black from the dealer, unless you meant a different color then powder coating would hold up well. The highlighter yellow comes with them stock. The mate black would match the rest of the bike better anyways. Probably around the same price too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Red non-ABS model must be different? DewMan Just shut up and ride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you sure the dealership did not swap yours? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
