[QUOTE="greg brillus, post: 58463, member: 597"] It just shows how effective and relatively simple the original technique was, and yet in this day and age we wouldn't think to go to that kind of trouble to paint our bikes. Well non of us are mass producing them are we.....? The finish we achieve on modern restorations would be far in excess of the original, over restored if you like. Sadly some of the products used then are so hard to find now.....Such as cadmium plating.....If you can find someone to do it, will they do a good job, not lose anything, or damage anything. I find the paint side of resto's not a big issue so long as you have someone to do a good enough job. It's the hardware that is the biggest headache, as most these days are either zinc plated or stainless. Thanks very much for the factory info David, It is always very interesting and much appreciated. Cheers for now........Greg. [/QUOTE]
