It's so nice to have a buddy that's a Guzzi enthusiast AND a body shop owner. His T3 and my CX100 are getting a winter facelift  :thumb:

I'm begging you for the last time---don't do the hot-pink color.  I know you think you will like it, but trust me, it will get old.

You might want to re-verify the latitude coordinates of your color reference....

Painting bike parts in a real paint booth is a nice luxury. I am used to painting my stuff outside in the open. You should get a very high quality finish on your parts, without worry about debris, etc getting on your paint.  :thumb: :thumb:

Pink? You know what a 70 Panther Pink Challenger sells for? In 20 years your pink Guzzi will be worth a fortune.   :evil:

Hey it’ me. I’m back. Will try to spend more time here visiting the group. Congrats on the clean up but always thought it was kept in pretty good shape. I agree with paint booth thing. Proper tool for the proper job

I have a NOS tank I've been saving for a while. It's going on my 77 Lemans when paint is done.

This weekend, a little fine detail, maybe a dab of never dull and some new gas lines and battery and I’ll be ready to go pick up those pretty painted bits.  :thumb:

John, I've had pretty good results using flitz polish on shiny bits. For exhaust parts I would dab it on ultra fine steel wool then put it in the center of a rag and work it like I was polishing a shoe. Cleaned up a few pipes nicely that way. Can't open your pic so I can't tell if you're pipes are polished or flat. I used a lot of neverdull when I was in the Coast Guard🫡, too much brass on those old cutters.

My best bud had a 1200 Gold Wing Aspencade, well after almost 30 years it was looking pretty tattered so he talked to his neighbor about a repaint. When I saw it after word he was just furious, with it. They sprayed it metallic wineberry with metallic silver accents, but it was clear coated with pearl flakes in the clear, lots and lots of pearl.  Depending on how or when you looked there was always some pink showing and to finish it off he had  lavender pinstripes and piping on.the seat. So for his birthday I bought a gold plastic crown for him.
