Hi mate

Sorry not got back to you. I am in Newcastle on Wednesday and could bring my Turbo frame if that would help. I would only be able to leave it with you for the day and would have to take it back with me. If this is a help, give me a shout and we'll sort something oot.

Kevin

very hard colour to do, one more stroke of the spray gun and it can change colour,

if you get it dialled give me a shout, good luck

Good luck with that m8, rather you than me

superbikedan · « **Reply #10 on:** March 24, 2009, 11:28 PM »

tbh the second from last pics looks really good,

last pic, top right looks the best, it's such a hard colour, more blue/black than black/blue

and the hardest part is even colour, that's the trick

this is it all done ......massive thanks to kevin rettie for the lend of his frame he brought it down on the train from scotland to newcastle . his frame is in good shape . the paint is chipped and a tiny bit faded at the head tube . but the rest of the paint is perfect to match .....4 whole weeks of hair pulling and i think this is excelent paint match

surely that is gonna scratch off even when laquered (or not) no problem at all with the slightest knock, if your 100% happy with the colour why dont you get it clear vinyl wrapped after to preserve your hard work??

neiljonarcus · « **Reply #13 on:** March 25, 2009, 05:15 PM »

clear vinyl wrapped

are you kidding me the joints would look mental

But isn't that how the Original Turbos were anyway?

We sold a few of those at our shop BITD and i always remember even brand new out of the box, when building them up for a customer they already had the odd chip or scratch here and there...

Great work on the Colour match Neil - its like the quest for the Holy Grail

yeah good point forgot about the seam, saying that its gonna mark really easy when your building it up so whats your plan, if youve gone to the trouble of 99% matching the colour for it to only scratch or peel off , not knocking the effort but whats the point ?

scary_leary · « **Reply #16 on:** March 25, 2009, 05:47 PM »

Just has to be careful.. rubber washers n all that..

Will look spot on when finished

neiljonarcus · « **Reply #17 on:** March 25, 2009, 05:49 PM »

ermmmmmmmmmmmm the point is no one has been able to do it apart from me . 1st good point . i have aa very nice harry leary that needs painting why do it blue or black or purple when i can do it the right colour 2nd good point . the laquer i am useing in uv resistant so it wont faid unlike the factory laquer which does fade and also its quite hard wearing so i am going to force dry it and just maybe it will with satnd knocks and bumps 3rd good point

neiljonarcus · « **Reply #18 on:** March 25, 2009, 05:50 PM »

scary what you think of the colour match ........... kevin rettie seen it live today and he was gobsmacked

series.1.rs.turbo · « **Reply #19 on:** March 25, 2009, 06:07 PM »

Youve done a top job there mate, fair paly

a good quality laquer ove the top will help no end

Cant wait to see the end product now

sparky · « **Reply #20 on:** March 25, 2009, 07:11 PM »

Neil, what you've done there is awesome and the visual match looks astonishing.

I've seen some top examples of restorations such as Scary Leary's, PKradman's and Gremlin's, which for me are probably the best examples worldwide.
