Title: painting your FJ?
Post by: scarylarry on September 22, 2011, 01:26:28 PM

If you were to repaint your FJ, would you paint it the same color scheme or a different color. My '87 needs some heavy touchup (no dents, just scratches and such) and was thinking about changing just for something different. Would that be sacreligious? Has anyone else done it? What color if you have?

Thanks,
Larry

Personal preference there...one member did one in a mat-black that looked good...wheels blackened too. I could see adding a stipe maybe. There is a pic in our gallery several pages back.

I used one colour that matched my Givi lids. I think it looks good...

Single color looks great. I always liked when people used the stock layout of stripes and colors and such, but in the wrong colors. Yamaha race colors for example would look neato..

A nice pearl white with bright luminous stripes may look good too with green rimtape or the whole wheel
