I usually like a paint scheme that's not the normal and loved the 83 Lc2 French blue scheme so had pondered doing a hybrid in the 84 lc2 scheme I was about to send some 31k panels to Mark Cordwell to get done in black to match the tank I already have but discovered a crack in the tail pNel when boxing it up that I wasn't happy with when paying pro paint money so set about looking for a NOS one Ended up grudgingly paying for this NOS 84 French blue one May just be as it's an isolated panel but it looks funny 🧐 Don't think I'll be doing a bike in it now Steve  |

Save yourself enough money for 4 months of gas bills by simply buying spectacles with inter changeable coloured lenses, instead of wasting the loot on a scheme that you might not like.
I believe tartan lenses are available? but I an on my fifth bottle of Buckfast so may be just imagining it.

5 bottles of Buckfast?
It's CPR and a stomach pump you need 🤣

That’s after the deep fried family meal surely?
What about replacing the pastel blue with a dark metallic blue with red stripes a bit like an early fz750?

I love that Steve, nearly had that design on mine, but in the end went with the earlier design, it seemed right as mine's an 83, as you know.
However if i had another...

Mouse That's the thing, I've seen pictures of the bikes in that scheme and really like it I'm wondering if this panel is either needing cleaned (it feels grubby) or the white has yellowed as it doesn't look as clean and pearl as it should be As you say, maybe one day I'll do one in those colours but this one needs to be black to match my Jap spec tank and the laminated decal set I have for it Maybe the original paint set I have in the loft can go the 84 French blue Oh feck, just realised the frame I'm building next is an 84 🤯 Steve |

Ah well design made then, sometimes too much choice is confusing!
I still love the French colours but i don't think Mr Cordwell ever does a bad job no matter which colour scheme you choose.

Mouse This set was always going to be black as it is for spokey 2 and I already have the tank pro painted so this was just finishing the set It just stirred up the French blue I'd always fancied as it was the only NOS tail I could find Here's the tank for spoke 2 and a reminder of spokey 1 Steve |

I prevaricated for years and months, between French blue and Stormy red.
Went with the red in the end.
Deeply pleased with it.
There must be a reason there are so many red Ferraris out there…….
