Instead of Honda wings how about more appropriate logos.....

Ha ha nice1. When the tankers next go on strike and we have a fuel shortage the local petrol stations will be giving me a ring to drop some supplies off :lol:

Iv just had a quote for the tank respray, £65-£70...

He's just matching the paint for me now. I gave him the code Carl gave me PB-215C ;-)

You will be doing well if it comes in at that price mate. That blue is a three stage paint, and takes a lot of work go get it looking right.

Hummm. Would it be a good price for this code B-162m? It's what's under my seat. However the bikes had a respray so not sure if it was the original colour?

The bike is a 99 in a W plate :-)

Check out what that paint colour is on here http://www.vtr1000.org/phpBB3/viewtopic ... aint+codes

It's more than likely the original colour.

Yeah B-162 comes back to 'medium blue metalic'he's going to check both them codes out, spray a sample and compare them to my bike :-)

[VTRDark]

Here we go B-162M Medium blue metallic

Given that yours has had a respray mate, as evidenced by the wing decals, I reckon they have done it in the same colour as my bike, Candy Taihitian blue PB215C. Have a butchers at this -

That is a very close match Kev, I hope he sticks to his quote then of £65-£70 if you say there's a lot of work involved!? :-(

Thats exactly as I thought. And if you look closely at Scotts pics you can see that sort of washed cloudy candy look in the paint that you get with the Tahitan Blue.

Thats exactly as I thought. And if you look closely at Scotts pics you can see that sort of un-washed gahstly crappy look in the paint that you get with any Tahitan Blue.
