    Don't upset the wimmin. I did that and I'm still doing the shopping while
    she's at the physio. On reflection though, I reckon I got the best part of
    the deal.

    We seem to have arrived at an arrangement, so when you're up that way
    can you let me know? I'll drop the stuff over to you.

    You're a lovely person.

    Nigel, a question if you will.

    Can you tell me EXACTLY which model it is? I'm attempting to get some info
    on how the tank/panels were finished at the time of manufacture.
    Specifically, if the decls were under the lacquer or over it. I know the
    original paint wouldn't likely have been 2 pack, but the *some* sort of
    lacquer (cellulose probably) would still have been needed as silver doesn't
    have its own gloss and I'd like to get it looking as good as possible and as
    true to original as I can.

    No worries, I need to get the tank removed and drained and I waiting on
    the decals arriving from Norvil, so I'll give you a bell when they're
    here and venture over to darkest Bedfordshire.

    Thanks Adie, you're a luv.

  10. Using the patented Mavis Beacon "Hunt&Peck" Technique, Beav
    It's an 850 Roadster.
    Original I'm not that fussed about, to be honest (I know, I know, burn
    the Heretic). I think the side panels will be best plain silver with the
    black "850 Commando" decals applied. The tank I want silver, with the
    black "Norton" decals and a nice red & black pinstripe running around
    the outline of the tank. Width of pinstripe and exact placement I will
    leave to you, since I'm crap at this sort of stuff. "Just make it look
    nice".

    I should point out that I ran the Mk IIb Pip-Scanner over it at the
    weekend and the fickle Ginga finger of fate pointed to a bit on the side
    of the tank that he reckons might be filler. I guess we'll see when the
    old paint comes off...

    Well a mental pic of you stripping is far more pleasing than one of Andy
    doing it anyway.

    Nah, I'm with you on that, but I wasn't sure you would be (did that make
    sense?)
    Will do.
    That's why I want to get the paint off. Not that there's anything wrong with
    filler, but it should be GOOD filler and it should be undetectable. My Zed
    has a touch of filler as does Christofire's tank, frame and swingarm but
    no-one who's seen the bikes can tell where it is.


    I'll just get on with it as if it were my own.
