89/90 Orange Clockwork colour options ?

[brocklanders023]

Most of real gem orange bikes have come from Ed!

Had a few over the years!

The grey one went to Finland from memory (after Ben offered it back to me) and was then repainted orange/white fade. There is a thread on the site and some lovely pictures of it in the snow.

Funny bike was that as it's probably my favourite project (and one of the first) but I never missed it. I put it down to the fact I could easily buy another Clockwork frame and get it powder coated the same colour and do it again. This was also the build that made me realise I prefer original paint to restored. Every keeper since then has been factory painted. The original colour for the frame was black btw.

That’s one thing I 100% agree with you is that I much prefer the original paint and decals on my projects
Although I will be making an exception with alloy o prototype project..

Question ?
Are black clockworks glossy or Matt finish ?

 

[Cheshire1980]

Glossy, satin black. I never had a Matt black orange in my collection over the years. Aluminium o, Prestige 93, clockwork 92, clockwork 91 have all been glossy black.

Yes satin, which looks glossy in appearance. But for less confusion as Ed rightly points out Satin black.
