Many thanks Mick and indeed it was surprising how much more we achieved with the two of us at it at the same time. Mind you - Greg is a terrier at getting things done!
When I refurbed the mudguards on my T140V about 10 years ago, I got them painted by a friend in the trade, who gave them both a coat of stone-chip protection on the inside before applying the colour. They are much more durable that way, and are still like new. I also got another friend, who is an old-school signwriter, to freehand the pinstripes to give it a traditional look (mine's a UK model in aquamarine and silver sheen, with black and yellow pinstripes). It looks like that one will be finished to a higher standard than when it left the factory by the time it's done.
Good progress Guys. 4 hands are always beneficial.
It takes untold hours to detail away years of road use, but the final result will be the reward. 🌞🏍

Cheers Rick and thanks again for the suggestion based upon experience. It won't be quite like new when done but it will be done properly.
Nice work on the front end, are you painting the centre and side stand, I think that would just finish it off nicely.
Hi Matt - thanks - yes the side stand is gonna get it!
