Yeah i know and this is where the photo's fall down a bit because it isn't. When i got the frame i t- cutted a small peice of the original paint when checking the paint colour against the supernova. When you look at the photo's original paint it's dull as dishwater and there's absolutely no glair from the paint in the photo's. The part i t cutted though is brighter, shinier and the metalic effect is clear.
The photo's after it's done though your seeing glair off the shine on the laquer and to be honest you don't see the metalic effect . I will bring it to mk10 and you can check it out in the flesh. Only thing is though we need someone with one with original paint on to compare. :shocked: Now that's rare ;)
You can see how close it is more acuratly on the poster size pic i have of the bike with the moon in the background. When you scrutise that pic you will notice it's lighter than most that are done :daumenhoch:

Heres a thread Ive been running on Pistonheads (as im a petrolhead aswell as an oldskook BMX'er). When its finished, hopefully next week, I was going to start a thread on here showing the restoration from start to finish. Have a look & see what you all think.
