Love the bowl of fruit. Sort of a mid-19th century "Still Life with Oil Tank" painting.

:haha It's all in the presentation, glass of red isn't mine I've got the beer hiding behind it and it's Radio 2 for me.
Thanks yamahahaha, always appreciate good feedback. A lot of the enjoyment for me is sharing the results with like minded folks.

No fruit bowl, wine, beer or Radio 2 :)
Clear coat yesterday and I'm loving the results.
Modern 2K paints are so good even I can get a good finish.
I'd recommend anyone restoring a bike to give it a go themselves, it's very rewarding.

Yep Pete I was blown away how good the 2K clear finished up the '72 tank I did a couple months ago.

Nice work on your tins! Beautiful!
Allrighty Then

Had a good day today, ride out on the RT1 with a mate on his BMW to cafe for a fry-up, bottomless tea and a good catch up.
Back home and put the clear coat on these bits which means I can finally rebuild the forks and get moving forward.
I love the finish I achieved on the RT1 fenders as it wasn't supposed to look like new, but with the CT1 I've gone full bling.
Let's see if I can get a rolling frame tomorrow.

Another "Rollin! Rollin! Rollin!" moment.

Despite delays owing to watching the golf, she's now rolling, with freshly blasted shoe plates and shoes of course.
