2007 Suzuki-Motorcycle Touch Up Paint (6 OEM Colors)

The 2007 Suzuki-Motorcycle Vibe

Welcome to 2007, the year the GSX-R reigned supreme on every canyon road and the Hayabusa was still the undisputed king of the "how fast can I go before I see God?" category. Whether you were cruising on a Boulevard or carving corners on a V-Strom, Suzuki was leaning hard into that mid-aughts aesthetic. We've tracked down the six survivors that defined the year, from the iconic Medium Blue Tricoat that screamed "factory racer" to the stealthy Shadow Black and Sonic Silver that made your bike look like a low-flying jet. This was the era of the high-shimmer pearl-if your Pearl Mirage White Tricoat didn't catch the sun just right in the parking lot, were you even really riding?

Paint Health Check

Here's the cold, hard truth from the spray booth: 2007 was the heart of the Thin Paint Era. By this point, the factory robots had become dangerously efficient at their jobs. They figured out exactly how little paint they could get away with while still making the bike look good on the showroom floor. The result? Great-looking bikes, but clear coats that are thinner than a racer's excuses. If you've been riding your GSX-R for more than a season, you've likely noticed that stone chips aren't just a possibility-they're an inevitability. On bikes from this year, the clear coat doesn't usually fail by peeling like a 90s truck; instead, it simply "surrenders" to road debris because there's no meat on the bones.

Restoration Tip

When you're fixing chips on these 2007 beauties, especially the Bright Red Tricoat or Oort Grey Metallic, you have to fight the urge to "blob" the paint. Because the factory finish is so thin, a heavy-handed touch-up will stick out like a sore thumb. Build your layers slowly. If you're working with one of the Tricoats, remember that the color is a team effort between the base and the mid-coat. Don't try to get the depth all at once; thin, patient passes are the only way to match that "Robot Efficiency" without making your fairings look like they have the measles. Seal it with a high-quality clear, but don't over-sand, or you'll burn through the surrounding factory finish before you can say "Gixxer."
