Well,
A lot of you know that when it comes to my daily riders I dont normaly go with the standard colours.
My first effort at building o/s bikes (Skyway) was a bit of an abomination :idiot2: :-[

Next one went quite well (CW) :coolsmiley:

So i thought it was about time to get the Skyway "redressed" and thought fook it lets go a bit nuts again ;)
Been trawling sites and powder suppliers for wot seem like forever as i had an idea of what i wanted (the old copper bronze on the 70's 911's) be couldn't find it ...until today :daumenhoch:
Company called www.prismaticpowders.com in the US are sending me over a 1lb of Cosmic Chrome and a 1lb of Penny Gold....Really looking forward to sending this to Dan as soon as the powder arrives :daumenhoch:

That would look cool as a radiator in my hall way
-
i like the blue it is.
but be cool to see what this new colour comes out like :)
-
I really like the blue but hey ho your bike , looking forward to seeing what it looks like.

I'd say a white seat clamp would look ace on the skyway, but if it's going to be a 70s colour then it gets my thumbs up :D
-
I think it's gonna look superb Alec, I really wanted to do my Mini Torker in a Copper plate finish but couldn't get any guarantees on how long before it started to tarnish. I can't wait to see it done. :smitten:

The white DC Seat Clamp went on it mate a few years back along with a white seat post and it looked alright, just to much of the blue on that build.

I always liked the baby blue (esp with those tuffs) but the copper should look good I reckon
couldn't find a copper one, but did find a gold-plated one
