Your doing the right thing matey! It's going to be spot on which is what your after

[fudge]

I can't blame you for wanting it perfect nudge

yeah i want to look at my bike and think yeah that looks mint instead of tidy bike wrong colour

Definitely intrigued to see the new paint finish. My red Mk1 turned up today, it will either be the 1st or 2nd bike I do (depends which of my 2 bikes I get to first!)

Are you able to get the bloke that sprays it to give us a step by step on how to get the colour right?? Looks like a few of us could benefit from that.

the guys painted a few bikes on here and i seen his work. And wanted him to paint my bike as i think hes one of the best at gettin the colour rite im sending mine to him then when its ready i pik up. Check out the resto section for johnny pre pro

Once your done with these wana do mine ?

All new to me this grifter lark takes time i suppose 1 job at a time work and that,take a look at my grifter i bought in new members forum.Want to take it to bits and do it up like new like yours,but knowing me would not put it back right lol. I would buy that bike of you now if your ever going to sell?

[grifterbazMk2]

it woz new to me wen i did that grifter got a lot of help of the guys on here. Once you get urs stripped down and start getting all the bits together you will enjoy mate seeing it finished. And if you need any help or advice just ask on the forum and someone will reply. As i say im far from an expert on grifters mate or any other bike i just enjoy my hobby ;D
