;D ;D yes Ken I know it must be a shock when people find out it's not real gold. A little like a pools winner's bath taps ;D
Interestingly, when you think about it these era Honda are all monochromatic originally. With black, white, chrome etc all having no "colour" and just the candy paint to offset that, giving such prominent impact to that single colour. They are really striking with this effect though.
McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
Finally I've finished removing all old gasket material from the engine casings - they have been cleaned inside & out using Petrol wash applied with a paint brush.
Next step is to strip the paint from the engine casings hopefully starting on Monday if it is not raining as I need to be outside when I apply & eventually hose it off directly into the sewer manhole.
I put on all my safety gear as the Industrial Grade stuff is nasty - then apply my first coat of Paramose paint stripper.
Despite all my safety gear when I finish an item & return to the house minus my gloves, mask, eye & face protection for a coffee I always feel itchy and end up washing my hands & face!
Probably a combination of fear sweat & my imagination. (I hope)

Wow! I think I’m going to look at gold/light brown in a different light, so to speak.🤣
Ted, watch out for that lethal fumes and volatile concoction. Remember to read your COSHH sheets. 😇😇
SPR:
I'm glad you went with black Ted - at the end of the day it is all personal choice but I think when you see it finished you will be glad you went the boring route :)
