Color choice is fantastic. I don't think I have ever seen that color on an EG. What's it from? Very Nice!

Wow I think that looks really nice. I can't wait to see it when you put it back together. It's a really nice deep rich color. I like that. I like shiney stuff.

I was wondering how much did the paint run you? We tried the same color because my friend wanted paint his 05 r1 color same on his car. No one was willing to get the paint because it contained lead. Unless this color is just a close blend? Great color though!

How interesting. I thought manufacturers weren't allowed to use lead in paint anymore, for any reason?

Bikes are painted in Europe or somewhere??

Spectrum camera they had did a pretty good job. Bike color paints contain crazy mixtures.

I want to see pictures of when its all together. You should clear you carbon in the same color? That's just me.

WOW, looks like a very mint paint job. And as always, camera doesn't do the paint justice it seems.
