Scorpion TX Restoration

<< < (5/5)

stidds:
Marty, that is going to be gorgeous, I had a Scorpion TX when I lived in the US.   I can't wait to see it finished.

Mattdub, thanks for posting those pictures from BMX Plus, it takes me back to 1981 when I was a little 'un and summers were always sunny.  :daumenhoch:

Lots of fine gauge wire wool, wet and dry and plenty of elbow grease followed by re-dying which didn't really take too well the first time.  I'm going to give them the CIF treatment with wire wool and then another re-dye at the weekend  :daumenhoch:.

Missed your post  :LolLolLolLol:

The decals went on like a dream using the soapy water trick although the forks ones took a bit of work to get on but I think you'll agree the decals look superb, top job and thanks  :4_17_5:.

Dan has done a super job of matching the paint to the original finish on the forks; unfortunately the camera flash makes it look like a plain red but it's a really nice deep red just like the original  :daumenhoch:

THE RACE FACE:
tht brings back some good memories "scorpion"  :daumenhoch: you must have searched high and low for them decals.

marty  the camera flash,   never works well on a bike frame

the best way to take a pic of a bike or frame is  out doors no flash

or indoors  bright room no flash ;)
