Thank's Ron for asking, I will hopefully find the right yellow some day :smile:
I have done the first primer grinding and it seems that i need some more primer on some areas.
especially on those parts that needed most repair.

I have just started to put on the decals, it's not easy but with some practise it's not to difficult either.

Really nice Lasse are you painting it your self?
You are absolutely right about not doing the red and white original paint scheme. May I suggest painting the frame black? I did it and its a whole different bike.
Keep up the good work and looking forward to seeing more pics.

No, i have a very good painter that do the difficult stuff.
I have done the repair, grinding between layers and the decals.

Unfortunally the frame is already painted silver so it have to stay that.

Hi lasse, looking good there is always a heap of prep work in these bikes. Will be all worth it
when it's all back together.
Cheers Ron.
