I want to change the look of the 06 attak, I want to go all blue, I see a lot of guys have painted the side covers blue. what kind of paint do you use? Is it yamaha blue? If you have an all blue apex I would like to see it. trying to get some idea's going, right now Im thinking all yamaha blue with yamaha in white on the hood.
 
We made some paint for a guy who did the same thing. We mix Dupont here, I used our Chromavision to match the original yamaha blue. He wanted some blue pearl added so I did that. He had a local painter paint everything that was plastic the same color, even the windshield was painted, any GOOD painter will know how to apply paint to plastic and make it nice. He used the stock graphics, it looked good, but I think was a bit too much blue. If he would have used something like the Arctic Fx graphics, maybe a black or chrome windshield, it would have broken up all the blue better, in my opinion. the nice part is that it all waxes up real nice. Hope you find what you like. It's cool to see how someones idea turns out. Later

I would like to see some pictures of an all blue Apex. At least the side, front bottom and nose panels being blue. I always loved the SRX/Viper all blue sleds and hoped to make an apex look like the retro blue sleds. If you end up finding some pictures of a sled like that let me know.
Thanks,
Kyle
 
I wonder if there is a way to make the lower panels and "rough" blue (or whatever color)...like the 00-02 SRXs were...so the top half were shiny and the bottom was a slightly different color. Maybe a matte type paint?
