Yeah it was stock red.
I painted the side panel (boomerangs) black with triple glaze clear coat, to emulate the new Xcitings.
Then Painted the under cowl flat black (original was matte)and that transition red , the muffler sheild black with triple glaze, and the CVT parts, gloss black.
Then the fairing a gloss black, but I will paint it with the triple glaze later so it emulates the new xcitings too.
Regarding where the 500ri is placed and the beginning of the color, that is the main reason i painted it. It just didn't look right.
And just to let you know if you are considering to do it, don't follow my lineas high as i did. becuase where it bends it bends on the other side, so it has a sword effect look. Again, i would probably end it two to three inches lower. Again,
