Restore 92 colour scheme or 89 RC30 style?

Post by ian_r_young »

Hi all, I was just after some opinions really. I have a 92 NC30, thinking of restoring the paint work back to totally factory standard, 92 red white and blue. The alternative is the real classic red white and blue of the 89 model, what would you go for?

I like them both almost equally myself, just didn't want it to look like a fake RC30, or to be wrong for its year and if I ever sold it people would know right off it was not correct.

Image 89
(At least I think that is the 89 paint scheme)

Also if anyone can recommend somewhere to get this done that would be great too. I have had a bit of a look around at places like the Stafford bike show but not found one that really gets my attention as such.

I like the 89 model scheme, but both of those are great looking original schemes.

Where are you in the country? I can recommend someone in Cornwall to use if thats any good to you?

I like both schemes, but its down to personal preference I think.

Keep the 92 scheme, too many people get thiers done in the rwb scheme.
Plus personal opinion is that 92scheme is my favourite after the seed and rwb scheme's.

keep it original :peace:
