You could work on the bellypan paint using the red beastie below as inspiration i.e the HONDA horizontal on dark graphite The rest of your red paint work looks good and not faded, and best kept original if you ever intend to sell on. http://homepage.mac.com/spaderunner/filechute/NR750v2.jpg Full Siz...
