Need new side cover painted Candy Gold to match original tank
« on: April 13, 2014, 02:17:58 pm »
I've seen some good looking side covers available for sale (look to be aftermarket jobbies).  My right side cover is toast, held on with zip ties at this point.  I'd like to get a new one and have it painted to match the tank...maybe I'll get a spare and/or both side covers shot at the same time.  Any recommendations on how best to do this?  For example, someone still shooting this paint or something that matches darn close?

Thanks.

Sam

P.S.  I love my damn bike especially now that she's running  8)

Ive seen some members post about "Dirt Bike Don" and the paint kits he sells. Apparently, they are VERY close to perfect originals.

Thanks, calj737.  I found Don Dirt Biker products at vintagehondapaint.com.  I can't paint worth a damn so what I need to do now is find someone in Houston that can lay down some candy.

That's a good call, Tews19.  Stev-o has been very helpful to me.  Thank you.
