StuGotz Posted January 14, 2007 Share Posted January 14, 2007 Anyone out there have a GOOD referral for a shop that can repaint a 74 R90S to ORIGINAL factory specs, including emblems, decals and pinstriping? Smoke grey, the color, according to VIN number. It was #290 sold in the US. Thanks, Mark. Link to comment
Rinkydink Posted January 14, 2007 Share Posted January 14, 2007 Factory specs? That's a pretty tall order, and very expensive. How bad is the original, really? I wouldn't worry about the asthetics until I knew she was mechanically sound. Link to comment
StuGotz Posted January 14, 2007 Author Share Posted January 14, 2007 Been through the mech's already...I bought this bike years ago as a basket case (salvaged) and painted it all black. Just lately, my tank has taken a dump and I have a replacement in primer, just thought since painting has to be done, then make the move BACK to original. My black paint looks nice, but would really like it the smoke grey it deserves. I am not a good enough painter to do the color fade that is needed as the original has...not to mention pinstriping, I drink too much coffee for that! Link to comment
BUSTED Posted January 14, 2007 Share Posted January 14, 2007 Holt BMW/Ducati in Athens, Ohio. Specializing in original paint jobs. Bike owners in Europe even send their parts there for painting. Experts in BMW paints and finishes. Not cheap! Link to comment
