The best part is it is all the same colour and pinstripe theme. I'm hoping these turn out as brilliant as the one colour pieces.
Edit - I've mentioned before that I now understand why a person does not take on a project such as this or the engine rebuild. Lots of time consumed getting to the end product, but the finished product is well worth the effort if one is so inclined, unless you have deep pockets. There have been comments about painting a bike, that it could devalue the bike as if you are trying to hide something, something like painting a house just before you sell it. I have found from this project that you can tell a lot about a bike once you concentrate on certain aspects. Didn't expect to find three pinstripe or two colour themes on this bike - now I will only have one. I'm of the opinion that old, faded paint is just fine, but a freshly painted bike, bringing it back to close to out he factory look is good. Lots of custom paint jobs out there that if you do want to sell your bike, it becomes a limited market. If you are going to do refresh with the original paint scheme, I think it's alright. I will admit that a single colour paint scheme regardless of what it is is way easier than a two tone pinstripe paint scheme. My 1500 was a three part system, but I was able to prime the parts/pieces and spray, beautiful finish. Having to account for two tone paint scheme and pinstripe at the same time is a bit above my pay grade at this time, but I will ponder this for the next time, if there is one. The 1500 is closer to 95%, but the 1200 will be a good 90%. 90% is good for a garage DIY paint project. Just my thoughts and a small rant for the day.
Cheers
