CB500/550 / Re: Which cb500 four should I buy?

Both of them have a repaint which is not a candy colour. They are both plane metallic colours.
Just saying...

Please be aware that if you want the paint on the cd be exactly the same on all the parts you best paint it all together in one paintjob.
It is the best and only way to avoid colour differences.

Ok, I get it  ;D

To be honest, I think I would sandblast still if this huge cleaning company would not be in my area.

My experience:

The problem with sandblasting is this: the material (whatever you use) gets blown with force in every crack and opening.
So if you have a sheet metal frame (not a pipeframe) there are areas  where the sand or glass will build up and not easy to clean. (read impossible)
When in time it gets wet it will start to rust really fast.


I don't want to contradict anyone who has a very good reputation in what he does but somewhere this, putting your bike in a sandstorm and than paint it, seems not the best way to go.

If you paint with sir Parnaby I would follow his advise.
But If you want me to paint stuff, well yust send it as it is and I'll have it chemicaly cleaned.  :)

About your cd.. I would have to think about a price on that. It's a lot of work.

 ???

It is a bit confusing to me. The topic starts about a frame.
Now it is about 10 parts in candy ruby red and 2 parts in silver.

Most of the time smaller parts are not easier to paint.


I cannot do that for 150 euro. Paint would already be more expensive.

Shipment however could be easier. I have someone living near Stuttgart and he could pick it up and bring it to me.

And to be honest: I really would advise not to sandblast it with whatever. Please let me chemically clean the metal parts.
It is not expensive and you will never have any build up on rest parts of whatever you use to clean anywhere.
And sandblasting is never 100% accurate in my experience. There is always paint remaining somewhere.

That looks like a cd50 frame I have laying around.

Would it only be the frame or also the rear bridge?

With a cd50 it would be tank, fork ears, headlight case, rear bridge, frame, framecovers, rear fender.

Tanks are often more expensive since they need a lot of prep work.
A frame mostly doesn't have dents and so on. And no lining work.
They need however a layer of clearcoat or two.

120 pound would come to 150 euro.

Well I would have to think about that.
I have no clue what shipment would cost.
What are the measurements?

CB500/550 / Re: Registration rejected from DVLA
« on: March 05, 2016, 05:30:38 PM »
I did that quite a few times here with Honda Germany. In Germany you can get any bike on the road again due to the strange ways licence plates are issued.
I even managed to get a funny 50cc bike on registration which was never sold outside of Japan.
Anyway, If you need an official paper stating that the Frame with this number is issued by Honda with the year it was produced I can get it here.
They don't even need to see the bike.

However, it is not cheap. like 150 euro or so. It used to be 33 euro but than, well they raised it.

I like this one better:

https://www.ebay-kleinanzeigen.de/s-anzeige/honda-cb-750-four-k2-k6-tank/424488555-306-8980

And, tankswapping business is clearly not a very easy business.

Maybe I should indeed stick to painting. ???

Ah, ok. Well I just sold my last 750 tank this evening. Nowadays everything sells so fast I cannot keep up finding them.

So I can do this: or I could paint over your nice blue set. Or maybe you could find another set which needs to be painted anyway and sell your blue one.
Or maybe Trigger has a set which can be painted in red. I can paint that for him and you can swap.

Or...

Hi, I was just looking to see if I could help out.

So the planet blue set is not an original paint but a repaint?

Glory blue black was special for the American market.
I have never seen one in real life.

Colour: not candy. Only gold metallic.

In France Prices of 750 Honda's are much higher. I talked to a couple of clients in France and now I'm helping to find The same bikes for half the price in Germany.

If they are really mint condition it is hard to match I guess. Most tanks have had some history in 40+ years.
Maybe I can swap your set for a new painted set. Red is however much easier to sell than Planet blue...
