Niiiiiiice
Not into old Brit iron myself but have to say I love that frame colour. Got a 950 KTM Adventure in the garage with a pipe off being welded so down to the one bike for now.......

Nice one
A lot of old metal looks unbalanced but that looks spot on.

paint and stove enamel by dream machine notts Electric platinum blue,they mix these colours from a vast range of incredable colours,mostly for custom cars ,bikes.its not cheap though,but the finish is fantastic,i would like the zed done but thats another story.

My Dad had one of those in his youth, along with a tiger cub and a few others...he would have loved yours.
