    Painting or new bodywork?

    Considering some mods to my 'o4 and a yellow paint job is in the mix. Before I commit to painting, does anyone know of aftermarket fenders, tank covers available? Thanks. Jack.

    I tested my skills at painting...

    So I bought my 1985 vmax with the original paint and it was faded bad. I used some rattle can and made it flat black till I could get around to giving it a nice paint job. Yesterday was that day. I went to a friends house that lives on a gravel road and painted it in his garage. This just goes...

    Painting

    Howdy, I will be putting some effort into prepping and painting the Max. I have equipment and some experience. I did a tank and side panels once with House of Kolor and that paint is absolutely fantastic. But a year or two ago I found a site http://www.paintforcars.com and used it on my XS11...
