I have the zero paints Kawasaki 777 lime green for my 03 ZX-rr and it's a solid paint, the Tamiya 06 ZX-RR used a mica paint ( slight metallic finish) so I would say it's not the correct paint for the 06 bike.

The Tamiya color for the '06 bike is NOT mica. I'm building it now and there's no way it's mica....

The Zero paint is a mica green, I thought the Tamiya was aswell. I guess not.

06 zx-rr is NOT mica/mettalic. zero is mica, tamiya spray is not.
so than 777 non metalic is a good choice?

Re: kawasaki zx-rr 06 lime green automotive paint option

When trying to find the lime green Kawasaki paint I get:

OEM color code: 617 Lime Green

Even though the color of the race bike can be different I´m pretty sure this color (the standard Kawasaki green) is your best bet.


Cheers!

Emil
