Help Please- To Paint or not to Paint??

[Dr S]

Yes they are both going- I've some nice Syncros Flat bars and Steerhorns to go on- the only parts staying on in those pics are the wheels and front mech- this was just a lash up to keep me on the road until the Klein was finished. I agree- risers and bar ends are a hideous combination

Polish it....I like polished 'dales, plus there's no paint to chip of later so it stays nicer for longer

 

[Dr S]

Cannot decide- I've had the colour chips out this morning top pick a nice yellow- it needs to be perfect, not to pale or eggy..... but on the other hand it does look nice polished- although keeping it polished with all this nasty salt and winter muck will be a challenge

. Going to see what you guys think and sleep on it.

paint is unnecessary weight. i vote for polish and black decals.

Pulled it apart today to paint it, got as far as getting the etch in the gun and the oven warmed- then stopped

Decided on a nice rich yellow- but lack the courage to paint that lovely shiney alloy.

Lots of nice new parts arrived today and I want to get it finished- last shout on to paint or not to paint- i'll count the votes at 10PM- help please
