Put this in here as it is a bit of resto and don't realy fit anywhere else as the bike fits in a few sections, and as always a bit of fun
Had a chat with the R&D department at the last meet and the subject got round to paint in the mid era , finnished up on home paint systems adopted by the dedicated few when there was no money for a real job, i rememberd a certain system that was used on GT and was in actionbikeinvertride,
( big clue so you can stop reading now if you like
)
Thought yup thats the way to go , got a 5star lite n the paint is shite chipping all over so why not

There is a method of applying this particular paint which involves slapping it on and seeing what happens , so i've adopted this method
The results ,
disappointed by the lack of blurred vision caused by the fumes , must of changed the formular since i last bought any
, H&S gone mad , as an analogy its a bit like "Swords Of a Thousand Men" by Tenpole Tudor remember it being Fookin Brill but now is a little less exciting , still well HP with final results
As an addition to the check list you can add making your new ish school bike a little bit heavier to the Yup section
