paint for cb750k0

[AshimotoK0]

Unfortunately it is reshaped at the front and rotted around the bridge so I had to get a new 'rolled front' one

Could you not repair it?

A friend did this on a KH250.

Had the chrome stripped off, repaired the mudguard (rewelded the rust holes and polished out the repair) and refitted the bridge. Rechromed.

Cost a bit, but it is all looking great now.

Hi. Ash,  no never emailed anymore photos since one of the cover with the fins waiting to get a few good ones to send, busy trying to get other bike finished to make room for this one, will post pics of that to, once I have mastered the art, you will probably  be sick seeing them

Thought of repairing cut guard but its way down my list and probably beyond saving . Last year the non cut  version cost me 79GBP from DSS now it is 175GBP. He had to go through 12 brand new boxed ones  to get a decent one for me!! see  http://forums.sohc4.net/index.php?topic=51892.0

The 'double cut one' is around 600-700GBP from Japan!! I have thought of cutting sections from two non K0 fenders and welding under the braces: see http://forums.sohc4.net/index.php?topic=51407.0


BTW Bob - I had every single part of my K0 that is black, powder coated by a guy in Castleford for 130GBp inc blasting and prep. Finish was spot on - My painter Andrew put me on to him. Turnaround was only a week.

These are pics of my restored K0 seat I used a genuine K1 new pan and trim

Ash - use IMG tags around your Photobucket url (saves us clicking on the links)

Just paste the link into the space created when you click the "Insert Image" icon above (it's the one that looks like a picture frame)

I've modified you post to show.

Hi Bob

This Sandcast on Ebay UK describes how he had to get the tank painted twice to get the correct Candy blu/green. May be worth sending a message to ask him if he knows which paint they finally used, no of coats etc. Just a thought.

Bob - I am in contact with two guys with immaculate  K0 and Sandcasts in the UK. One guy has a red and blue Sandcast and used Andrew Parnaby for paint  (he put me onto him). The other guy in Cumbria has a blue K0 and he used Dream Machine. I can give them your details if you like to ask them of their experiences. I know that Andrew paints on the stripes (as they were done by Honda I am led to believe) and Dream Machine use stickers.

Steve - where did Eamon get his paintwork done for the Blue K0?

[SteveD CB500K0]

The tank is original and the sidepanels were bought NOS by the last owner.

Thanks again Ash, by all means pass on my details and I will be intouch as soon as possible, big 65th tomorrow so will be busy doing birthday things,  hope I get it finished before next one.
Bob.
