yeh, fair enough. I only use the S1 infrequently so the cost of a 1l bottle of R30 is spread out over some considerable time :lol: if it was a daily rider then it would just be getting normal SuperTT.

That paint job looks fantastic Dave ! :shock: what have you got in mind for the next project ?

Did you have any problems finding the paint code or was he able to colour match it for you with his trained eye?

Kev...the paint was matched using one of the side covers that had relatively good paint.
That's why I've still got one cover to be sandblasted then painted.


Thanks all...must say I'm pretty chuffed with the result.
Here's a quick look at the duck tail decal freshly applied.... :kuda:

Thanks Dave. I'll probably try and do the same with either the tank or the duck tail as the paint on both of these still look half decent in places.
