At long last I am finished the “granite” paint touch ups. Almost had to be in the right mood so it has been sitting waiting for this a few weeks now.
It took many, many hours but was well worth it, I think. The new vs original paint end result as with the stem photos shared are noticeable but as with the stem I’m satisfied. It’s great to have preserved this beautiful paint scheme
I decided to treat myself to a mini mock up to get an idea where this build is going. I love it!
Note the handlebar swap to a Syncros unit. A newer than 89’ bar yes, but the older shim helps with the look. I definitely think the black Syncros shim bar suits much better then the brodie bulge bar previously planned
Now on to the much easier white front triangle, I may be able to apply the white base coat in my small furnace room during the winter but for sure the clear will need to wait for warmer temps in the spring and the garage can be used
