That's the trouble Mick you cannot find two paint sets even close - shite

RWHS use the most shite painter I have ever seen.

Stripes wrong, colour wrong !

This is what got me interested in the 1000 in the first place

Agreed Dogz!

Interesting to see how much metalflake is visible there.

Seems to have the same lustre and depth of the earlier paint schemes - unlike the Diamond wine Red which always seems far flatter.

From the evidence of how my old DSB KZ's faded, I would still say the factory achieved the depth of colour using a tinted candy over silver metalflake base, rather than a solid colour.

Very interested to see the results.

I really like the old a1, usually get wire wheels on 'em, which is nice.

Trouble is the Big K f**cked right up on the a1 colours, they are all boring imo.

Prefer a2 colours much more, or z1b blue !

Monkey boy, you are so wrong !

1976 = The Sex Pistols
1977 = Ian Dury and the Blockheads

1978 = Spandau Ballet.

Everything went wrong after 1977. I rest my case :??

TLC

More like.....

76 = The Osmonds
77 = Boney M

78 = The Clash !
