Are we talking about a new paint job on the front wheel as that is what we can see most of in that photo? Razz

It's black, looks better than most ped paint schemes IMO. Thumbs Up

Get different colour neons if you want to have some, get a colour which isn't the same colour as used by police. When riding along less than 100% legally and you see a blue light in your mirrors flashing betweens cars, "is that someone with neons or is that a cop?".

looks good. Thumbs Up

But is the finish any good? I can't tell from the photo.

Ste - My headlights totally blind out the Blue lights. they are for Parked up purposes...

The finish is much better than I expected. Its smooth and tough...
Im going to T cut it tomora...

Whats a 'T-cut'? Embarassed

binge · Emo Kiddy Joined: 03 Jul 2004 Karma :

Its aplied similar to polish, but it cuts a very fine layer of paint off o it gives a clean finish... (needs doing after respray)

How long ago did you paint it? leave it at least a week till you use t-cut, if it is soft then it will ruin the finish.

From the photo the colour scheme looks quite good Smile

All the pannels dried this afternoon.

Ok, cheers mate Thumbs Up

... Ill T cut it next weekend...

Im off to hein Gerick for a new Lid tomorow. I want some new stickers too...

It certainly looks better than what it was, nice one. Thumbs Up

It'll look very nice once its got the chromed bits and pieces on. Smile

binge · Emo Kiddy Joined: 03 Jul 2004 Karma :

I dont have the chrome bits.
Im not going ott, Im just going to get the grab rail chromed to match the bars! Very Happy

haGGard · Nearly there... Joined: 13 Oct 2004 Karma :

Are you also going to change the colour of the grips as well? They look slightly out of place now being red and all... Confused

Bendy · Mrs Sensible Joined: 10 Jun 2002 Karma :

Looks nice and subtle as it is... go easy on the shiny bits. Thumbs Up

Yes I am aware of the hipocrisy of liking subtle while owning a bright yellow bike, thank you.

Keith · World Chat Champion Joined: 24 Mar 2004 Karma :

Personally, I'm not a huge fan of chrome and shiny stuff, but a 2 stroke expansion chamber looks rather impressive when its all chromed. Also has the advantage of slowing down the corrosion. Razz

Have fun with the new look, just dont bin it this time! Laughing

I think matt black or similar would look better, chrome belongs on classic cars and that is all Wink

binge · Emo Kiddy Joined: 03 Jul 2004 Karma :

Unfortionatly the paint has got a rather satin/matt finish Sad

hopefully a Tcut will sort that out...

Ive now got black grips. I chrome beading around my Reg plate holder (Replacing the anodised red one) and A chrome beading around my front Air vent. Ill take some pics tomorrow...

Im going to redo the rear end or buy a new pannel as all the filler has cracked Shocked

Apart from that its all good and some more wheelie videos to come Mr. Green

Personally I like the satin/matt look.

Wouldn't it have been better to do wheelie videos /before/ you spent the time repairing it Confused
