Mr P - ?150 is a reete keen price for that amount of work. ?100 is a steal!!
Don't forget your ancilliaries mind - yokes, clox bracket, seat pan, front hub, rear light bracket, small widgety fings - whilst your at it. Yer man should be able to spray satin finish as required too - just add a matting agent to the lacquer.
How did I learn so much useless shite? Christ knows - guess I must be secretly interested :roll:

Steve

I don't think anyone is really suggesting 2-pack is 'original' - but it's a darn sight closer than gloopy old plastic coating!! :shock:
Come to think of it, if I'm feeling brave enough, I might go for a light dusting of cellulose onto bare metal on my 73 resto.
Now that'll be what I call ORIGINAL!! :D

Bloody hell Mike, they look superb, Chris Rivett has got the carbs off my Z1B, hopefully they will end up looking like that.
Four pipes rule, anything else is second best.
