Talk About Paint Fade!

Take a look at this KZ650 tail on eBay. I've never seen paint fade this much.

Tailpiece

Oh let me guess... :ohmy:

Everyone is going to blame Dupli-Color paint for this right.... :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

As soon as I read it I knew it would be a red 1977 B1. That is a good example for sure. I remember when I drag raced the H2 back in 1980-81 a guy had a 1977 B1 that was all bragging how clean it was and being a friend I wasn't afraid to say my thoughts and I said "Ralph, that red is faded", he said "yes, but less faded than anyone else has" proudly. Well this was 1980 and I saw them faded to white by that time. Not quite *this faded though*, but that was a long time ago. That red took a horrible beating for sure.

My 78 CSR 650 had the same paint fade. Nasty grey and a great looking red where ever the sun didn't shine.

I thought the same as Ron, "it's gonna. be red" I picked up a 400 a long time ago that sat in the back of the garage right next to a four pane window for about 15 years. I always regret not taking a picture cause it faded to white on one side with a weird patternfeom the window while the other side was perfect

Here's a 900 LTD I bought back in 1997 that's a perty red Same color as a 650 B1 after just a little exposure to the sun.
