Si at Flying Tiger painted my Z900 (although not in original colours) and he did a superb job. I've had lots of bikes painted over the years and his finish is the best I have ever seen. I chose an original style and he got the lines exactly right, both location and sharpness. There are some photos on my blog which show the paint off well.
I would guess that the problem is going to be finding a modern paint colour that is a good match for the original Kawasaki colour. I used House of Kolor lime gold candy which is a really nice lime green but probably not a great match for a 1970s lime green.
