550 F2 started!
Johnny4428:
Nice find Roo! I had a few layers of paint on mine, stripped using acetone and tooth brush. Then sprayed black and hand painted in the white, quite satisfied with results.

Thanks fella's, That was how I was going to do it in my head so youve just confirmed I'm not completely daft ;D. I was considering using cocktail sticks, thin tubes like you get with a can of WD40 or similar but I like the 'needle dropper' idea Matt.
I shall invest in some this very day..................(when Ive finished in teh fish house) ::)
Sesman:
You lucky bastard. Yes, I’ve had a go with very good results. If you come across another pair I’d be greatful . The 550 F2 badges are anodised gold, which are difficult to redecorate . But I’ve refurbed the 500 ones to good effect.
I used Hycote BMW jet black with ford diamond white.
Paint stripper (paramos)
Acetone wash
Black first using dropper method
White using same method

Whats yer budget Phil? and Ill have a butchers later. Got a delivery this morning but mooching this afternoon as its time off well earnt. Tell me how much your happy with and if you need the bits on the back or happy to have em without and glue them on etc......
Oddjob:
The VT1100c arrived today Roo. It needs some parts but I suppose it will be fine to leave that until you're there again. Trouble is describing some of the parts is probably harder than finding them.
