The result of a trip to Aerocoat, now a trip to my favourite building in the garden to get busy

Is that blue of the nuclear variety? If so I'd be really interested to know how well it matches the original colour/finish as I could do with getting my X1 sidestand done.

I think mine will be next at Aerocoat. I toyed with selling it but, half way through the ebay experience, I changed my mind and put the price up ( they don't like it if you withdraw items too often).

Its just passed its Mot for this year. I think I'll strip it in a month or so and have it back on the road about August. I know thats the summer gone but I have a Ktm Adventurer to ride, so not a hardship. Fits in with the way my company works, short hours during the summer ,long hours during winter.

I will post before and after pics.

It looks like Aerocoat might be the destination for mine then.

It'll be next year before i can do it though.

That would be the true test, though it may not matter where you are. :P Under the bright Texas sun, the nuclear blue glows or appears iridescent. A beautiful choice of color.
