S3 paintwork, bit of advice please
Posted: Wed Jul 30, 2014 8:59 am
My S3 turned from green to red around seven years ago according to what I could determine from all the paperwork.
I know the red is wrong for the year, but it is nice to look at.........apart from a couple of irritating blisters where the tank must have rusted and lifted the paint slightly
My options are:-
Have the tank repainted
Have the bike resprayed in the correct green
Buy another set of panels and have them painted green plus the current tank repainted......that way I could change colours to suit my mood type of thing!............could be expensive, of course, but worth it in the long run.
What to do?, I can't decide....but if I were to buy a tank and panels and have those painted there would be no downtime, so that's appealing............the red paint's wrong by a year or two, I think, but I do like it........plus the bikes a user, not a show pony, so does it really matter?
Any advice,would be appreciated.
