I am hanging fire until Fungo gets his 'Genuine SD Decals' business up and running - I need some for the Blue Delux (Tailpiece and both side panels) before I drop the lot round to Tardebigge for the chap to work his magic on them...........

One was originally the blue one that I found as a NOS item in Germany (45 euro bargain) and I had it repainted by another guy up in Halesowen but I was not really happy with the silver - it was too modern looking (smooth) and it glistened too much like graphite - a bit darker than original. So this was just a lightening up job, hence not as much work.  What was annoying was that (in the end) I paid the chappie in Halesowen £185 essentially for an undercoat.... Expensive, what?  |

Will be finished at my placement in Worcester on the 1st Aug and will hopefully have more time to really get stuck into this. That's the plan......I really hope we can get credible decals out there for us all..... |

We do need a forum recommended paint guy- would be good business for him as well. Side panels- anyone got ones like this? PO of YJS bought a NOS one to replace this one, then put decals on it that are pretty poor. Surely this panel could be fluffed up to look good as new? It's perfect otherwise- lugs intact. just the usual rubbing away from 30 years of rider's legs. The stripe would need replacing- that's not a bad reflection it really is worn away...  Yeah I reckon Flakey could sort this..... But first we need credible decals to replace those worn decals.... That day is hopefully coming. |
