Yamiya aging paint!
« on: February 14, 2025, 10:11:42 PM »
 It's like a Fender relic guitar, aged new Yamiya paint set. Would you buy worn paint at a premium price?

 They are only original once. Or twice.

I wouldn't say those are new Don. Probably have been on a shop bike for some years and out in the weather, rusted headlight ears showing and paint nicks on the stripe and tank. $2300 plus shipping.

These are actually legit used parts?  I know that Yamiya does sell such things when they become available.

 True, that may be real patina taken from restoration jobs.
