About product

Katana GSX Silver for motorcycle models

The silver Katana GSX Silver refers to the bodywork of the Japanese Suzuki Katana motorcycle. On its angular front fairing and tank it was not a classic mirror chrome but a light metallic tone with a calmer character, which underlined the impression of brushed metal. On the real subject the light metallic tone reached from the front fairing across the tank to the side covers, so on a model it is one of the largest continuous surfaces.

The real subject: Suzuki Katana

The Katana appeared at the beginning of the 1980s and its look was designed by a German studio led by Hans Muth. Against the production of the time it looked as if from another era: a sharp front fairing passed smoothly into the tank, the seat had a pronounced step and the whole was deliberately inspired by the shape of a Japanese sword. Under the bodywork worked a large-displacement air-cooled four-cylinder. The motorcycle became an icon and the brand quotes its silhouette on modern machines too.

Where you will use the silver

  • tanks and bodywork of Japanese motorcycles of the 1980s
  • surfaces meant to look like brushed or polished aluminum
  • frames, brackets and accessories of light metals
  • bodies of road cars in a light metallic tone

Who the color is for

It will be reached for by builders of motorcycle models and by anyone looking for a light metallic color for larger continuous surfaces. It will also be used with dioramas, where metal on machines is meant to be clearly set apart from chrome-plated parts and from painted sections. It will do good service with restorations of older models too, where the metallic tone on some of the parts has aged and needs unifying.

FAQ

It will not. It aims at the impression of brushed metal rather than at mirror chrome, so it suits bodywork and frames rather than polished accessories.

To the Japanese Suzuki Katana of the early 1980s, whose angular shape was designed by a German design studio.

Yes, it will serve well on bodies in a light metallic tone and on small metal parts of a chassis and an engine.
