    You'll have to take that up with the designer of Thin Lizzy's album cover for China Town. As for me, I don't give a ship.

    They're just baking the bits and pieces now apparently.. I think the colour is going to end up looking very similar to the factory red you can get but I don't care at least it won't have the gay lines and the dumb badges.

    The colour might end up similar to the factory one, but at least it will be all new and shiny. Can't wait to see it

    And you can do a lot with decals.

    Yeah, don't worry. It'll look heaps better. Have you thought about painting the guards? Dark red and black would be pretty sweet.

    I did ask for that but he forgot (oops!) I am thinking now about maybe I will get a badge maybe some skulls! and he will fit it on to a plate for me and put the plate on the bike. Still thinking about it. But if I'm not happy he will do it again.

    Maybe? Fucking druggies! See that's the problem with marajewana. Nah he's just super busy and uhh I kinda rushed him and also we didn't write anything down, my bad haha. He's going to fit the decals for me and put wax over them when I get them today (fingers crossed). I think I might get a badge after all though otherwise the tank looks naked and we can't have that..

    I'll reserve my thoughts on colour until I see it in natural light, The off light colour looks a bit "muddy" and not the clean flip that can be ..... But as I stated in the emails, photo's never do justice to a colour, especially in low light.

    Painted a early Camaro last year that ended up NZV8 magazine..... and the bright high sparkle pearl didn't show at all.. almost looked black

    The second lot are a year later so have some fine scratches etc so will also add to the difference (lots of chips behind the rear wheel to for some reason)
