Regarding FZR Paint
My bike came with several layers of flaking black over orange over primer paint on the frame, and I am paitiently scraping/stripping it to get back to factory original silver. I know the engine was at least partially the same silver and maybe some plain aluminum. On the engine, just where is the paint and where is it bare? Thanks, guys

I can only tell you what I found on my 92 600 (91 us model year thanks Brandon ) I have only found silver paint on cases & frame. A close match to Yamaha's colour is Peugeot Aluminium car paint

I painted my chopped up ground up subframe with Peugeot Aluminium car paint, It matches. Without Geo's, yeah fork mod page I would be still


Re: Regarding FZR Paint
Question is, again: Where, on the engine, is there bare aluminum, and where is there the silver paint?
Re: Regarding FZR Paint
Only the engine side covers are painted. Everything else is bare aluminum.

I cannot see any ambiguity in that answer
