Hello
I am new to bike restoration and have a question about the sheen of the black frame paint.
I picked up a 1977 xs650d barn find a couple of weeks ago. It was a mouse hotel for 18 years.
I fixed the electrical system, got the 1/4" inch of varnish out of the tank and carbs.
I set up the ignition and tried to start it. It fired but barely ran. After I figured out that the exhaust was filled with birdseed from the tips of the mufflers to the exhaust ports it ran fine.
Now that I have a mechanicly sound bike I want to touch up the frame. Is the frame painted a semi gloss black or gloss black?
Thanks
Steve
