      Job Well Done!

      As a fellow owner of a 79F, I must say that's a job well done! One question, did you have paint mixed for the tank? How does it match the OE?

            Relative to the paint job, my body shop man used a paint camera to come up with a mix, which he didn't think matched very well, so he kept mixing until he got a close match. Said he spent more on paint than he charged for the job, and is done with bike work! Hand painted pin stripes with clear coat over.
