Thanks chaps, it's was from CCR paints, quite a lot of prep work but for rattle cans I'm very very happy with the result I got.  I just need to decide if I apply the standard 550f decals or leave it as is as its a bit of a custom build, what do you all think?

I think I'd be tempted to add some custom decals but in the Honda style font or slightly different.
You could try Diego (Piki) on here or a company called Classic Transfers (they are on the web).
When I rebuilt my Triton I called Classic Transfers and spoke with Ashley who designed the decal as I wanted it. I wanted the name 'Dresda' included within the 'Triton' script. Ashley designed a decal within hours and emailed over the design which was perfect.
I'm sure Diego could probably do the same if you sent him an idea of what you want and he's one of our site sponsors and is super helpful 👍

Lovely colour Dom and a great look especially from rattle cans. A place called IMAGE WORKS have done some stuff for me in the past with great results, have a look on the interweave and they should be easy to find.

A pals bike that was a right mix of bits got finished and they did me some wicked transfers and stickers of the word ‘ Frankenhonda’ but in the Brough Superior font, looked ace.

Great work buddy, keep it going mate
