1973 R75/5 Rebuild, Paint Side Cover Horizontal Stripes
I also painted the horizontal stripes on the chrome side covers. I tried the Monza Blue paint from Glausrit but I didn't like how that looked. So, I tried some Dupli-Color rattle can paint and they look better. I may try to paint the side covers yet again as I'm not sure to best handle the curved edges. But they look pretty nice.
Here are a couple of pictures from the write-ups.
