Great! It’s not the money, it’s getting the finish you are happy with, but for only £12 that’s a result!

The frame, tank and wheels look good in the pictures.

Good painting. How much time did you spend?

That is looking very lovely, I've always liked the look of the Pantah derived 600 and 750 motors- much nicer looking than the later 620/800's in my opinion.

All in 🤔.... not a clue. Over 2 months maybe 48hrs a few hours at a time..... and lots of masking tape

Yes. I’d say over 98% of the time was prep, cleaning and masking.

The silver is Engine enamel and the grey/green is regular paint. It won’t last as long as the enamel but I wanted the colour match..... and they just pop off anyway so can be easily redone

You may want to fit the rear header too to help keep your new paint looking smart.
