In the Tamiya paint range there is a pigment for painting the inside of clear lenses that is gold, silver, yellow, orange etc. I have some gold in the shed and I'll dig it out to have a look. Obvs its in an area wher petrol is about so maybe fuel proof laquer over the top?

If you were to spray it on first as a primary coat with a modlers spray gun to get the delivery and then laquer the lot afterwards once you've done the letters as required, it would  technically be sealed but you'd have the polished metal underneath with a gold finish from the pigment coat under the laquer?

I'll report back when I've found it.........

‘‘Twas tongue in cheek as ever and I’m sure Julie got the poke.
Broken teeth you say? I’m just pricing getting all mine taken out as sadly the diabetes has knackered my lower jaw. I’ve taken three out myself since crimbo  and getting bored of the stress involved. Never mind having to wash my ‘brave boy’ pants thrice since December
So your question might just save me about 7 grand

That sounds interesting mate, Good choice rather than leaving them in red, they'd look like theyd come off a MotoGuzzi anchor and nobody would want that! ;D

I sent the pipes up to Nick at Camcoat last week and hoping of good things after looking at your stuff, I did mention that youd been in and I asked if he remembered you and he chuckled and acknowledged your high expectations on finish and that it was a pleasure to do stuff for you. Spoke very highly of you.............which was cool.

He evidently doesnt know you I reckon ;D


Let us have a shufty at your bits when you get em back, I love finished parts back from outfits such as that, unwrapping newly coated parts is one of my favourite things as after all the hard work I get an enoromouse sense of satisfaction out of it.  Yer know!

Daft innit? ;D

I soaked mine in old brake fluid and use a wire brush and the old paint just comes off easily after 24 hrs or so. Etch prime it and paint with  a suitable calliper paint (VHT or similar plenty of options but check it’s impervious to brake fluid)or if you can afford it get it done in black cerecote  it’s by far the best stuff, doesn’t chip, crack or degrade and looks ace.

Oddjob did some a few weeks ago and looks the doo dah’s.
Have a look on his posts…..
By the time you’ve faffed about, been out, bought paint, prepped, buffered it up, prepped again, painted it etc etc, for 30quid or so you get a lovely nice refurbed item to bolt back on and means you can spend the time doing other bits that you’re getting round to.

Before you do anything though I’d take out the piston, spring and check for west as you’re already in it. A rebuild kit is only about 15 or so and readily available but makes sense to do it now. If you’re keen to keep the OE M/C on there I’d do that but appreciate that costs build up and it may be worth simply replacing with a new one and selling your old one one to recoup some costs.


Hope that helps a bit at least

Oosh, decorating!I don’t do decorating, that’s a pink job.
When you’ve finished you then have to start and do it all again!
Sod that for job satisfaction!
Don’t mind a bit of top coat ‘gloss action’ though, strangely

What must have happened Julie is that several of the gas stations only had diesel so Graham had to keep searching

That and decorating’s  a crap job and a fate worse than a fate  worse than death he’d have stayed out if it was wet, I would have
 Well done for accepting your confinement and making good use of your time
