The paintwork is nice, in your face but nice.
The first association i made with that paintjob was with vehicles like this.

Just don't try and ride yours the same as these ones are.

I assume you are going to provide sunglasses to anyone who wants to look at your bike???? Interesting project/s, mate. Inspires me to keep going on mine.

I have always been a fan of original looks however since seeing metaltriumph's results I have to admit that I can appreciate these machines.

The effort you guys go to making these oldies shine amazes me...I would not have the patience to do such a job.

Keep up the good work mate. :kuda:
