    Hate your F6B color?

    So I bought this 2013 red, hated the color but the price was so good I could not refuse the deal. Now I got this idea of switching plastics with someone who has same problem. The bike I bought is in perfect shape with only 2k miles on it and the paint is in excellent condition.

    Why don't you just have the 2013 custom painted by someone who does this kind of work...Had mine done back in the late fall of 2013 and it looks great...House of Kolors, Brandywine Candy Red with a couple coats of clearcoat...Expensive, but worth it if you plan to keep your bike for a while...JMHO.....Ride safe

    Switch Plastocs... I just tore down my front section to repaint. 8 hrs. Finished the rear section today teardown.... 5 hrs. To painter tomorrow, then re-assemble.
    Just switch..... LOL. Why would someone want the red or black that scratches because of no clearcoat ? That is what people on here are trying to get rid of.

    So what have people paid for a paint job? Did you have to tear down and reassemble? Curious on what the deal is.

    I like the white. I just wish it were a bit more deep, and had a lot of clear coat on it.

    I like the white as well. When I am tired of the black paint, I am going to have something done by somebody else using white - as you mentioned a bit deeper, a crap ton of clear and possibly one of those "if the sun strikes it a certain way you see different hues" kinda thing just to differentiate it from the Honda paint scheme - but then again, maybe not. That's down the road aways.....
