Guzzi's Getting a facelift
« on: January 06, 2023, 02:08:25 PM »


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.

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

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:
