picked up a set of bodywork off ebay rwb inc tank in fairly good nic have decided to get the lowers repainted on the white section as they have a few marks i have the large honda logos thanks brooky , does anyone know where i could obtain a near match for the pinstripes to give the painter to complete the job ?

I think model shops used to sell reels of self adhesive pinsripe of varying width in an assortment of colours/shades. The same company made a shrink film to wrap airframes.

Not entirely sure if both products shared the same name, but the film was called 'solar film'

Hope this helps

there are some vinyls available in similar colours, unfortunately not quite standard and hence more expensive, if there is enopugh interest i could invest in some and knock out enough for a full bike for around £7.50 a set with postage

like said though if you try even motorworld or halfords they do various standard stripes and may have the correct colour.

thanks tomski will check out the model shop in the city on sunday and see what if they have any will take a mid panel to check for a match .thanks mark would think there would be some interest in what your proposing in getting some kits together but i guess you really need a good few people to make it viable getting some in . will look out my anorak for the model shop and see if they any first then a baseball hat sideways for the boyracer dept at halfords and report back if i obtain some thanks for the info lads

is this the champagne goldish silverish colour? I got some from Canada, pretty close match

thats the one who from baoffee

How did you get on with this brother?

have tried halfords no success still to try the model shop though , the painter suggested trying classic car restores but not had time . vinylmark said he mighy be able to sort some out but i think he would req to sell a few kits to make it viable doing them understandable really , but if i get some will pass on details from where bud.

quick update,

got a sample of the vinyl i had in mind, about 10mm square, just need to compare it against my bike and see how it looks, might not be perfect but it looks good, will update once i have chance to get my bike out. Will then find out how much i need to buy as my supplier told me he doent stock it, hence why the sample is so small.

the only positive thing is this is also the nearest match to the fzr gold decals so buying a bit wont be lost.

i even tried the biggest sign company in the area and he had nothing remotely like, only standard gold or standard silver.

do you want just a small section so they can copy the colour? if so PM me and should be able to help
