classic paint
« on: June 18, 2013, 11:08:20 AM »
You'd think that after a lifetime spent painting classic bikes i'b be sick of it, but theres still a lot of pleasure to be had from a job well done.
After stripping, repairing, painting and pinstiping, the latest project just got its final clearcoat, and is baking as we speak......

Looks like the tank and side covers from a '74 / '75 Ducati 750 GT.  Laurie ?
