What do we think about....non original paint jobs?
dannywhiteley:
I ask because I have just picked up a Rebel race frame (at-bloody-last) and its painted in a lovely Hutch-u-like candy red. Was originally gonna strip it and either rechrome or paint white as they are the only two original Rebel colours. But seeing this in the flesh it looks sweet as. Just need to sticker it up tonight and i'll take pics.
However, if it gets an overwhelming thumbs down, then I wont waste the decals until it gets refinished.
I know what people will say, 'go with what you like and ignore other peoples comments', but I would like peoples opinions on the subject anyway, whether its a Rebel or a Quad, TA or JMC I wonder what opinion is?

I disagree :LolLolLolLol:
I used to make custom choices but they'd always annoy me and not seem quite right until they were rectified with a factory colour. Even better, unrestored at all now if possible, I've got to prefer original gear and restored is the dirty word now. But a lot of the time a bike is beyond looking good in its original state.
Swivel:
Do what pleases you Dan, factory spec and custom builds are both cool :daumenhoch:
