The forks on this were done with the Spray.Bike cans - worked alright. It was important for me to match the frame colour (which is original paint) and I was lucky that the Spray.Bike colour matched.

For this one I wanted to recreate the original colour. I had a recipe for it which someone had worked out using a spectrophotometer and I eventually found the UK supplier - Saris Coatings - who made up 500ml. Applied it with something called a Preval Portable spray gun which I hadn't used before but worked well for solvent based paint. The blobs are grease. I haven't finished it yet.

I'll be interested to see how it turns out.

Body Pro P961 primer (olive).
Custom Canz "Military Swamp Green" base.
Spray Max 2K Epoxy clear - Matte.
For filling I used TechniQ Super Fine.
Various grades of 3M wet/dry and a 1000 grit 3M DA pad were also used.

Someone had clearly had a go at painting, though they musta just blasted em as no masking.

Didnt go for the original sticker set, much prefered these to contrast the graphite grey met paint.
