The BSA B31 that time forgot. Part 9
I'm here ....Albertu Keanu, bringing Vintafaking news from 'Sidevalve Base Camp' ...
I know all you vintablog peeps are desperate.............panting for it in fact..........so tense you could explode....
Fear not, for below is a bit of something to keep your whistle wet.
The fuel holding vessel of 'Lovely Maroon' has now had the side panels plated with Belgiums finest zinc.
An honour some would say. Some would say...Wot No Chrome, but they would be the uneducated and easily led.....the one's who have fallen before the Matrix, believing that bling is a vital component of motorcycle resurrection.
Nay......'Lovely Maroon' will wear the scars.....
So, the sun is shining, it's wonderfully warm in the garden.....whoops did I say garden....I should have said temporary open air spray booth.. Yes, the type of spray booth that usually has the odd suicidal wasp and fly that want to stick to the best and wet glossy bits for all eternity...
I'm using Old Skool 1 x pack Polyurathane. Wonderful stuff, works as well on house front doors and window frames as it does on valuable motorsickle parts....
Primer first after masking zinc plating
Now a splash of Maroon, and plenty of it..
At the moment the fuel holding vessel has been re-masked to enable a pin-strip to be applied....I did go in search of suitable paint at the local D.I.Y store but they only stocked water soluble....
WATER SOLUBLE PAINT ????????/ Get a grip......paint should have lead in it and ozone threatening V.O.C.s surely.
Water soluble paint is for 'artists' and other alternative life-stylers. I didn't buy....
Beer time.....POSH ! Get them flagons topped up real quick.......'ave got a reet thirst.....
