OAP Ted's CB400F2 rebuild - engine not run for about 12 years.
K2-K6:
Sounds good if you can outsource it to get a good finish.
Went to look at a local powder coater recently as son is working on bicycles, they showed me some really nice work and finishes and not what I'd seen in the past.
Blue and gold always look good paired.

I visited Langley Coating a firm just a few mies away I took my frame to have it shot blasted only or possibly primered to stop it rusting when I get it home. After speaking to John the Motorcycle Man I decided to get it powder coated as they had the exact colour I wanted - far from original Honda it's going to be Sapphire Blue Gloss RAL5003.
I plan to paint some of the smaller parts myself in Rust-Oleum Gloss as I'm not too fussed about shading differences. They are pretty busy so it's likely to be a 14 day turn round if I can get the stand to them on Monday.
The idea of Gold alloy wheels gets more attractive every day with some mean tank & side panel custom graphics - it must the red wine has blurred my thinking tonight.

As in Kirk Langley?? Let me know how you go on as looking for someone local for my frame etc. What are they quoting for the work if you don't mind sharing that?

Yes they have a website with some bike frames pictured - its a spin off from Langley Gates I think. I will post a photo when it comes back home!
I will PM you when I have paid at the moment its not a fully firm - estimated price looks like £160 plus VAT at present.

Spot on thanks Ted.

Collected the frame this afternoon - looks brilliant so far I have to say.
If it's still as good when it's unwrapped I will be well pleased.
It's clearly not a Honda colour but its Sappire Blue Gloss RAL 5003 as I specified.
