A couple of months back a guy on Facebook kindly sent me some pics of tank centre section dimensions of my 1980 CB250RSA project.
I am at the point of painting the section in dark blue but I am unsure of the exact positioning on the lower section of the tank. From the Facebook pics of the upper section, I am fairly sure that my masking is OK in the upper section but can anyone give me an indication of the widths A -> F on my annotated picture of the lower section.The dark blue tape roughly represents the white pinstripe decal I will be using. It's a case of "do it once, do it properly". The 'Nassau Blue' base-coat has gone on pretty well, so I don't want to cock it up on the dark blue centre section.
I am painting this bike myself as the low resale values of these gems simply doesn't warrant a 400 to 500 quid paint job. Piki, provided the thin whiter pinstripe itself in vinyl.
The guy on Facebook give me some more dimensions but they don't seem to correspond with my annotated image.

This is a pic of a NOS Red tank but the dark blue centre section/white pinstripe is exactly the same as the Nassau Blue tank.
