Need advice
« on: September 19, 2015, 10:18:12 AM »
So, I've decided to either get another Guzzi or put some work into the old one during winter time...
Incase I do the latter a paing job among other things are needed, any suggestions for an old T3?
(this is mine)



Was thinking a simple original gloss black, or I would love something like this- but thinking that decal set is custom made somehow..


I also have an issue with side covers, currently they are fitted with cablebinders because the engine is now a cali 1100, and the carbs wont fit when sidecovers are in the original position.. any ideas for another type of side cover?

You could just buy another Guzzi but I wouldn't part with your black one, it has nice lines.

It's actually dark blue metallic, but tank has alot of scratches, so a paint job is needed+ plus the exhausts needs it too.

 Probably paint. Any good painter can do that. Nice looking bike you have there, and a belated welcome to WG.
If you are talking about the eagle..custom decals are easy any more.

I like your second option but don't use decal use paint.

So if I wanted to go with the coppa italia theme, can I just show an auto painter the pics and color codes and they should be able to make something from it, or how exactly does that work?

Also I can't seem to find the original coppa italia paint codes ?
