You can also shoot an eMail to dondirtbiker@excite.com. He supplies paint kits for the old girls and everyone who has used his kits seem to be very pleased.
We'll all be someone else's PO some day.

I read the link to Harley Paintin'. Recommends lacquer. That can't even be bought here any more. Is there anywhere it is still legal?
