well finally got around to respraying the two sets of tanks/side panels that have been on the to do list for what seems like ever and after a few false starts and hitches they are finished I think the Maui blue really suits the kettle - now I can have a change from Candy Gypsy red .

Re: been doing some painting
Looks great,can I ask what paint you used,by that I mean was it Suzuki Ocean Metallic Blue,,or Maui Blue
Have heard that it's nearly impossible to tell the difference,except in the price

Re: been doing some painting
I wish I could paint
On a serious note as it now looks like I'm keeping the kettle I've got a headlamp bowl and two fork mounts (ears?) than need painting in candy lavender, does anyone fancy doing them and at what cost?

John - used the proper Maui Blue water based from RS paint - have seen so many supposed Maui blue sets that just dont look right - they are close but not the right shade and I would never be happy with that - RS are not cheap but their colours are spot on
