Back in 85, I stripped with nitromorse the white powder off my haro master, and painted it orange.
If that bike was found today, someone would perhaps think, they'd stumbled across an orange 84 master :-\

Hence scenario B) though looking at the thickness and quality of the paint, I doubt it’s been done ‘at home’
factory pilot:
How early was Dave Breed riding a pink performer.. ?
Just because it’s 84 doesn’t mean it didn’t sit around until 85 to be painted .. probably got left near the back of the pile in the factory and eventually, in 85, got painted ?

^^^^^^ This
Huge bug bear of mine that people get caught up on dates and catalogues like these companies ran a super tight ship with their serials
Highly likely it was still in the warehouse come 85 and just got painted pink!
Go with the pink :daumenhoch:

Spot on, mine too. It’s well known that even the ‘high end’ companies BITD didn’t meet the quality standards of today or even match their own declared dimensions. We’ve built some of these manufacturers up to be something they weren’t, quite frankly.
Two in the pink, one in the stink 👈
Pink it shall be

I'd say this is spot on as even bitd kids dad's worked in body repair shops etc.
