Nice. modern paint is so good, but I suppose good paint finish was possible in the 'olden days' just a bit of a rarity! we get tainted by rubbish 60's/70's cellulose spray jobs!

Although, if I say so myself, I'm quite good at replicating that cheap mass produced quality

have been discussing old LAmbretta paint with friends recently, by the mid/late 60's the last of the Bertone designed bikes had paint so thin you could see the grain of the steel pressing through it!
