I've got the 13L nailed and the paint is now on the bike. Not a problem for me as paint is what I do for a living. I can mix most classic bike colours so if anyone wants a paint mix recipe just ask. However I have to now do headlight surround satin black.

Viking Vinyl's have the suede effect textile in correct 82' colours of blue and silver/grey and do a lot of Kats for a guy who restores them. As for the swingarm that's a polished JMC item and what chain guard, but I have got an alloy one from a bandit I believe, that will get modded to fit.

Thanks for the scheme guidance Johnr.

Hi Johnr, I have an A reg GSX1000SZ and have lots of baby rust coming through on frame which was not very well finished when new. Do you know of a paint code for silver frame paint and can you let me know what you think to advice that I have got from my mates who say I would be better off lightly spraying the frame myself as if I had it stove enamelled, it would no longer look original. If no paint code available, I could always take it to Auto Shop and match up one of the silver engine brackets to an aerosol? Many thanks chap, Trev.
