EFE red and black paint.

by **dixiethedog** » Sat Dec 01, 2012 1:05 pm

This week coming im going to prep a set of bodywork for my EFE thing,and I want to paint it in (one of)my fave style for the good old efe.

(not my tanks by the way!).
If I do the prep,can anybody help me please by measuring some datum points on the tank (if you have one painted like the pic),so that I can position the silver stripes etc in the correct place??

Once I have the prep work done,I'll run some masking tape down the centre of the tank,front to back,and then maybe run tape across the tank,side to side,at set points,from where i can hopefully work out where the break in colours should be,and the silver stripes applied.

I hope thast makes sense???
Any help gratefully appreciated.

Thinking about it,your bike has my second fave colour scheme for efe's,and Ive 3 set of bodywork.

When Im ready with that set,i figure you'll be sick of me asking dimensional questions!

I would fancy doing one in the excact same paint scheme as you - just altering the paint to metalflake - candy apple red and gun smoke black . . . .

Some day - maybe . . . .

MMMMMmmmmmmm metalflake.....candy..... :lol:

I did a friends bike candy and flakey,which looked really erm...bright in the sunshine. It later became known as "the gay paintjob". :lol:

Click the pic to see the vid.

Clicky piccy.

In the my fave place for paint,the kitchen,ready to be taken away.

Clicky piccy.

I actually fancy doing a set of EFE panels in a blue candy with some flakey stuff,and a nice pearl white. In the same format as some of the US bikes.
I would have added a pic,but it seems photobucket is taking a break from things and not working for me,yet again!!!!

That's the same paint scheme as mine.
Bought a full set of bodywork off a guy in Edinborough intending to do it red & black, but it was in too good condition to bugger it up!
