Too many S pics..?

Too funny, Sharpy . Had to get my mug in the shot..pretty crisp reflection, eh..? You're very much in the ballpark for the cost here, too.

If I could paint like that, I would be smiling too. Excellent job, maybe better than factory from the way they look. Quality costs money but it is worth it. Thanks for sharing.

Looks to be an amazingly awesome paint job. WAY better than any stock S. You would have to back way off and add flaws in order to match the OE paint, and change to stripe tape instead of painting the stripes.

How did you decide on the while color match? The OE paint yellows really bad so it's hard to figure out what color the white is supposed to be. When I painted my S the white was color matched to the Reproduction Decal's white stripes, but it's quite bright so not sure it's correct.

The factory tank I used, and a couple of others that I've done, fortunately, have all been extremely close in color. St. Lawrence white is what it's called..kind of a Wimbledon white. Pure white is too bright. The blue is almost a dead ringer for the old Ford Grabber Blue that a lot of late 60's and early 70's cars were painted. Funny you should mention the factory paint. They were actually a little cobby (not just Suzuki's, either). Over spray on the inside and on the back of everything, nothing painted. Painting the backs of everything really gives it a finished look and it only takes a few hours to do.

Beautiful paint work and no we can never have too many S pics.
Hopefully we can see some pics of the bike after the new bodywork is mounted.
