1993 Kona Kilauea Restoration

Looking forward to this built up!

Ok, I have made the decision to take the frame to be powder coated at Yorvik Engineering in York but I am undecided about the colour!
Should I go for the original two tone fade (not sure they will get a good match to original colour), or should I go for the whole frame in the burgundy colour like the US model of that year (as in the picture below).

Please HELP!!

Re:

Burgundy 100%. Cheaper and looks better. I'd get forks and stem done to match aswell.

Gotta be the fade - best paintjob Kona ever did.

Forks legs are ready to collect from the powder coaters. Will upload a pic later tonight

Just got the fork legs back from the paint shop! Very pleased

Frame is now in the paint shop too!

Colour chosen is RAL 3004 which is a match to the original rear section of the frame, but will be sprayed totally in this colour. I cant wait to get it back
