Matt black wrapped 4 out of 20 panels.

Plastidipping got delayed due to Silver Metalizer can being a dud, on first press the button got stuck down and wouldn't free up so the entire contents sprayed out. Waiting on replacement.

Still trying to work out the final design with the Gloss Red and White.

took off rear Calliper stripped it down cleaned it all over looking like its new again, put new seals in cleaned and polished up pistons put it back onto bike, bled brakes ready for front brakes now.

i thought the rear brake would be really dirty and seals totally gone but they were just ready for a change.

Ride the Burg for the first time in the rain. Having dry feet at work despite the lakes that form on the roads through the dockyard was great

Finalised the new design for the TMax... replacement can of plastidip has arrived, next few days shoudl be warm and sunny so I can finish the wheels, yay! Still have 16 parts to wrap :)

I just need the new parts so will be giving the dealer a call tomorrow to get an eta.

Then I'm going to need to decide what to tell the dvla the new color is... I would class it as black, but the white does stand out a lot.

I don't think you will have to tell the dvla of charge of colour because you are just putting large stickers on it
but i would check on it ,

You do now, especially if none of the original color is showing, but you didn't used to.

My previous design still had yellow as the dominant color so it didn't matter.

Its only a case of writing to the dvla to inform them of the change.

I'm sure Sky would tell the dvla its a Sky van :D
