2 questions first what type of paint should i use for the barrels? gloss satin or mat? I thought satin painted them and they came out like gloss  Second question what colour do you think suits the LC best? Tempted to go with the mars bar colour i think its called. |

The correct finish on the barrels is the same as on the air cooled bikes. You would be surprised just how shiny it should be. It's in between a satin and a gloss.

Second question what colour do you think suits the LC best? There is only one correct colour for a 4L0 (lights blue touch paper & retires to a safe position) WHITE with RED STRIPES  They were always the fastest  OEB |

I'll second that white and blue for me but to be fair mar's bar is a very close second never been a lover of the white and red but end of the day it's down to personnel opinion on the subject of barrel paint what's the best to use im after a semi gloss finish

Your doing yours yellow in you? That's why ive not thought of it ;D I'm getting the head and side casing power coated gloss black to was trying to get the barrels slightly mat finish but not totally mat. so satin is a half way house. Or so i thought  I,l stick some photos up tomorrow. |

this is the colour of my head and barrels, its VHT engine enamel in satin black, i ended up getting my side covers powdercoated in gloss black, as far as colours go on the bike ,mines white with blue stripes, but the marsbar or yellow i would be just as happy with, they all look great to me  the satin came out a little glossier than i thought but it will do me  |

I choose white and blue stripes when i was a lad but find it difficult to choose between the white and red ones now so have one of each ;D The correct finish for the barrels and head is satin black, i use plasticote satin black.
