The girlfriend edition Pink/Dover White NQ50

Post by Hittinger »

Hello all,

I have been using the forum for a bit now for some advice, and decided to make a contribution of my own.

Originally bought a 1970 C70M and restored it for my girlfriend, but she was too nervous about the semi auto. So I found her a killer deal on a 1985 Honda Spree for $240 fully running all lights and accessories work great!

Here's the Spree the day we got it:

Tore the bike down to clean the frame/engine and get the pieces prepped for paint. The decals were a huge PITA to remove, but with time anything is possible.

Began the process of painting each individual piece, once the third coat of Dover White dried I taped off and painted areas with Krylon Pink Slipper, then three coats of clear:

And the final product, still have to apply the "Spree" decals and do the wheels. Overall it turned out excellent!

...Like... :thumbwink:
...and agree with the random suggestions, white walls, wheel paint, maybe not white to avoid over-kill, but OEM silver.
Nice work...happy trails... :urban:
