Is that original finish, or have you re-coated it ? I've got an '81 Motomag that I'm gonna paint, as it has a few marks that need taking out. I wanna do it this colour, so I could use a paint code or colour match.




Nice collection there  8)

Thanks for the compliments.

And no, this was not original finish. It was spraybomed gold metallic before I stripped it down to nickel. It was in my early days of restoring and looking back, honestly I was a dork for not keeping the nickel which was beautifully preserved under the paint. (I hate even admitting to this felony!) The powdercoating shop I took it to said he could do a candy finish, which consisted of one coat a silver sparkle base, and then a transluscent blue over top of it.



To tell you the truth, I regret all of them I have to sell, but I have a goal in mind, and I'm pressing on toward that end. In fact, I'm there.. I'm just waiting for stuff back from polishing, powdering, renickeling, etc..   (shhh!)

Here is one I sold last year:
