2006 Suzuki-Motorcycle Touch Up Paint (4 OEM Colors)

The 2006 Suzuki-Motorcycle Vibe

Welcome to 2006-the year when the GSX-R was the undisputed king of the local bike night and the Hayabusa was busy breaking speedometers just for the fun of it. Suzuki was leaning hard into the "lean and mean" aesthetic, moving away from the neon-splashed 90s and into a more sophisticated, mechanical look. We've focused our collection on the true survivors of this era, keeping the torch lit for the heavy hitters like Sonic Silver and Oort Grey Metallic. Whether you were carving canyons on a Gixxer or making a statement on a Boulevard M109R in Shadow Black, 2006 was about sharp edges and high-velocity style.

Paint Health Check

By 2006, the industry had mastered "Robot Efficiency," which is just a fancy way of saying the factory got really good at applying as little paint as humanly possible. This is the Thin Paint Era. While the Med Red Tricoat looked deep enough to swim in when it left the showroom, that factory clear coat is often paper-thin and prone to chipping if a pebble even looks at it funny. On these bikes, you'll likely see "road rash" on the leading edges of the fairings and scuffs on the tank where your jacket zipper has been doing battle with a soft, efficiency-focused finish.

Restoration Tip

When you're touching up a 2006 Suzuki, remember: the factory applied this stuff with surgical precision, not a bucket and a mop. To get a seamless blend, you have to build your layers slowly. Do not try to fill a chip with one big "blob" of paint; the surrounding factory finish is too thin to hide a heavy repair. Apply a thin coat, let it flash off, and repeat until you're level with the surface. It takes a little more patience, but it's the only way to match that tight, robotic factory profile without leaving a visible "scar."
