The girlfriend edition Pink/Dover White NQ50
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!

It just needs some whitewalls.

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