Leary Turbo paint job
Jazzchimp:
mmmm....interesting...
Spoke to the fella and he said it ain't 'tricolor smoke' on the turbo which we thought it could be cos it wasn't invented until the late 80's - too late for this era.
He explained that loads of finishers went out of business in the 90's as trade was moved to cheaper countries and so some of these finishes possibly don't exist any longer. He was very interested though and has asked me to forward any pics to him so he could decipher what it is. I have a few but if you have any good shots of the original finish that show the blue tint send em me quick and he will hopefully tell us what it is.
Cheers

Oh and it would be expensive. You would need to strip the frame, polish it, nickel coat it, polish it again, nickel coat it, polish it again!! then mince around with a nickel base and lacquer layers!!
Where's that spray can!
