Yeah, the bike looks great. I also like how the bolts were not painted. Did you have to do any prep work or just clean the engine and spray?

Yeah, that's it, clean, mask spray. It started raining at some stage and I had to push the scoot into the garage newspapers and masking tape and all

Looks pretty good. I like the paint on your tins.

Really? Thanks. You don't think I should have gone with matte black/primer?

I used some green spray on soap...
