Pushing my Envelope
View attachment 141592
I have always been a traditionalist about frame colour, but this 77 came to me already detabbed, P O called it a "cafe", so here goes.
Finally a nice day today (no rain or wind), so after cleaning and sanding, took it out to the corner of the lawn and used a can and a half of "Dark Steel" metallic and I am pleased.
Fellow I bought it from had a lot of things completed and painted including the air boxes, trees, tins, then his wife dropped the XS750 tank on the drive and put a palm size flat spot on the front corner. I think if I am careful I can do a repair and incorporate it into a side scallop so I can save most of his paint. He also sold me a stock paint red 750 tank which may go on it, especially as he ground off the stock tank mounts.
