Skyway TA correct colours?

(1/7) > >>

andrewthomas197:
I'm in the process of restoring a TA (childhood dream) and was wondering whatcolours go with what year.
The frame I have is a K serial number one with a curved rear brake mount and is currently in chrome, the question is:

* What are the correct colours for this age of frame were they all chrome or were they chorme or white
* How much prep work needs to go into a frame before re-chroming and waht do I need to do?Thanks for your help on this, I wanna get it spot on.
All the best,
Andrew

stidds:

Not sure on the colours a Skyway expert will be along soon to let you know.

You do not have to do any prep work to the frame, the platers will do that for you.

dordymush:
i've seen the K  series ones in both white and chrome.

i always liked the white better on a T/A but thats just me.
if the chromes knackers up but not to bad a nice coat of white powder is a lot cheaper way to go.
i just got a quote of nearly £200 for just a frame.
bity too dear for me.

superbikedans ya powdercoater man.
will come out mint.

andrewthomas197:
I prefer white but just needed to check to see whether this was right for the frame, the stickers pop out more on a white frame, looks alot cleaner.
I have been speaking with SuperBikeDan, I've heard good things....
Thanks for the info.
Andrew

dordymush:
