I am almost done with the prepair of the bodywork for painting.
I think i have used more than 10 of those plastic welding stuff tube, fortunately they only cost 6$ each.
Still have some lugs to repair.

I am in the process to select which yellow colour i shall use for the "kenny Roberts" paint
My painter will use the RAL colour system.

Which yellow do you think will be good? i think RAL 1026 is realy nice, or maybe 1023? or 1021? it is difficult :sad:

There is no way to judge a colour via the internet

you need to see it with your own eyes

that bottom one could look identical to the bug if it was outside

Ofcourse, one need to se in real life to get it correct.
Will do some test to see wich colour that is closest.

Eventually everything is repaired and finished for the first layer of primer.
Now i have some more to grind and maybe after that a litle bit more primer to get a perfect surface.
