My first finished project and first bike. I just stripped it down, rubbed up the panels and rattle canned them. Not a bad finish. But now i have a compressor i want to re-do it already! Anyway some before pics   and how it is today   I just need to restart my C90 project now! |

Bit worried when you said that you rattle canned it, was expecting the usual all matt rat, but that looks great, well done from a fellow biker  |

Now that does look good!
I hate to say it though, I sort of like the 80s-tastic original paint job in a way that maybe you had to see bikes like that when they were new to understand.

Nice work! An NC24, if my anorak serves me correctly? The paint job has taken years off the bike. Doesn't look like a home job at all It's the lacquering that does my head in, trying to get a deep shine. Ian |

the theme pub in town used to have a vfr400 on a platform upstairs.
another pub in that chain had a single seat racing car, minus engine.
It also had a Mk2 chopper. don't know what thats got to do with sports though.

Cheers all, yeah its an NC24.
No reason for the stickers. It was the only set i could find for a bike with a dark paint job...
