When I did it the first time, I used matt enamel airfix kit paint and a small brush. Lasted forever, never dulled as much as the pen does, but then it took about 10 times longer to do. Horrible job, never again.

![]() As for the handling. Who knows, but im VERY happy with mine atm. I played with the suspension a little recently, took some pre-load off (I put it RIGHT up on the back when I first got it along with the dampening as it was like a bouncing castle but I havn't been happy recently...) the front and back and now its SOOO great its amazing! Turns in better holds a Line fantastic even allows changing line at the edge of the tyre. ACE. Just shows that suspension settings make a MASSIVE difference! ![]() |

I was in some bike shop other day and a girl pulled up on a new GSXR-750 with painted tyres, I actually liked, though I think she also put her name on them hehe I might happen to pass Halfords.

Strangly it was a spotty 16 year old who served me but he (obviously) knew what I was talking about. ![]() |
