Hi Pete,
That was one of the best bits of the bike when I got it. The paint had been done and a lot of the parts bought, but the overall finish of the frame etc let it down big time.
May be worth talking to a few people at one of the bike shows as they often have examples of their skills with them.
Good luck
Seamus
AshimotoK0:
Andrew who, I used chose a current Honda colour which perfectly matched the original paint under the fork ear reflector of my Candy Ruby red K0. It was a lot less than 700 and mine had the K0 3 -part airbox to do plus lots of repair work on the tank. He sprays the stripes on (as Honda did). I think Dream Machine use transfers.
I considered trying to spray myself (as I did on my 400/4) but Candy is notoriously difficult to get right - one false coat and its a total repaint. Vic Worlds sprays 'so many and a half' colour coats to get the correct colour for the candy blue/green K0.
In the end I just spent the dosh and I am glad I did. The American guy (dondirtbiker) who sells Candy paint kits will not ship overseas.
cheers
Ash
UK Pete:
