Featured New Paint

Finally got my tank and mudguard back from the painters after my wife reversed into the bike. I miss the old burgundy and white colours as I had a T140 in 1979 the same colour, but I'm really pleased with the new look. Paint was done by Terry Potter at Precision Mcycle Paint in Nth Crawley, near Newport Pagnall, I recommend him. Terry also chopped down the mudguard a bit, not enough to make it useless, but so it gives a cleaner line.

Haven't ridden it in 2 months.

Happy days.

 

Life was fraught for a day or 2 afterwards, but you have to have a sense of humour!

No idea what blue it is, just picked it out from paint pots available, but you are right, it is like that Tahiti blue colour.

I agree about the chrome. The original paintwork was an 8 ball custom one which I really liked but the plainer blue is better with the chrome cases.

Cheers all.

 

Thanks.

Simply because it took almost 2 months to get the tank painted after the wife knocked the bike over. The guy I took it to was snowed under with work, but I'm glad I waited as I do really like the job he did.
