OK, I'm nearing the end of a (long) build for my hybrid. Just a few finishing touches to go before the final strip & rebuild, but now I need to decide on a paintjob. Trouble is, it's taken so long, I've changed my mind many, many times on what the design should be.... speedblocks? 90's Japanese TZ race rep? Single red stripe up the side? Current favourite is plain white all over, with black Yamaha on tank, just like the TZ's came from the factory. So it's open to suggestions from the floor.... what do you think?  |

As the tail section looks quite large, I'd do some sort of taper towards the back. I like the 89 TZ as linked to, but you could end up having it look like a 3MA, or something it's not. Difficult choice, plain white always looks good with some highlights around the curves.

plain white! Just looks like you have left the decals off.

I like the 00 to 08 ones, however the ones around 86 are more correct for the bikes age.

Would look nice in plane TZ guise! Spend the special paint money on the motor!  |

I always think the paintjob should come last on a build (though I always don't listen to myself).
As you say ... you change your mind so many times on a build.
My preference would be satin black on all panelwork, with just a white Yamaha logo on tank, and a white YPVS logo on tail piece.
I can't decide between bling or anti-bling so am building two!
I hope my anti-bling YPVS looks as good as yours.

Matt white, with just the black Yamaha on the tank will look cool.

Thanks for all the suggestions... makes me think that white would be a good start point that I could over paint or decal at a later date if (when) I change my mind. It's also easier to repair if (when) I chuck it up the road..!! The intent is for it to be 70% track bike / 30% road, so it's bound to need some rework at some point. Keep the suggestions coming though... I'll post some more pics as it gets near completion. Favourite so far...  |
