Aha!  A new recipe for candy blue green!  Did you come up with that on your own, 69cb?   ...or find a tip somewhere?
If it works good, it looks good...

Do you mix them and then spray or are they applied one at a time?

Shiny and all trued up waiting for a new set of shoes!
I have new tires

Lacing them up is a real job, congratulations! 
Thanks for the note.

Sorry for the delay! Cutting and bailing hay the past few days and every piece of equipment broke, snapped, sheared and flew in every direction!!!! Lots of shop time, but mostly outside, beating on haybine, vintage rake, and a bailer that’s almost as old..... I’ll have a look and let you know.
I would like to know the years for the foot pegs if you know.


Checked my Sandcast #1250. Round, see photo. Look the same as my early ‘70 KO to me.

I have Xotic color book and original paint air box.
Lay translucent slides over base coats, color is close to original.

1. Primer
2. Two coats base, 5 minutes between
3. Two coats mid, 8 minutes between
4. Two clear coats, 8 minutes between
Mid and clear contains isocyanate, dangerous, paint outside and use respirator.

I think I asked before but I never saw the answer, if you're restoring a K0 at breakneck speed every 4 months what are you doing with them all?

I sent the last three to a guy in the UK.
I am suffering from a lack of CB750s, hope to be riding next week.
