Javaman. That looks great. I'll get some and give it a test run. Thanks to all who have offered ideas.
I'll be keeping an eye on this site for sure.

No worries. It took me about 4 cans from Supercheap to get it "right" :lol:

About the grey, I'm not sure how it looks like on the A1 but my "handle-bar" grey was Duplicolor Strato Grey Mitsubishi DSM11. It is a laquer though, not enamel which is my favourite (the caliper paint is enamel)

Original colour (flaking):

Close enough? :P
