I was well excited to get home tonight armed with paint cans and masking tape and a nice warm afternoon .
Couldn't get the rear wheel rubbed down and masked quick enough..
Before I did though I did the front and 2 coats of black. Its a bit too matte so will be over lacquered in a couple of days but the paint went on beautifully.
Then the rear was done and that also had 2 good coats and looks so much better now.
I found a gold that I am much happier with and its a very close match to the Brembo calipers and its actually brass. Its made by plasticote and enamel.
Throttle control housing is cleaned and freshly painted. Never saw the elephant until today and it may also need a lacquer.
I decided I can use my newish looking gold bar ends and disguise them in black gloss plasticote. I may need to get a couple of inserts turned up to a size to be able to fit some countersunk screws in the end as the original ones.
I then started to check out the oil cooler. Its in good shape overall but scabby paint but not much I cant sort out with care and some good paint.
