The first coat of paint

Paddy called to say he had put the first coat of paint on the frame and panels so I called around to see how they looked.

I was very happy with the progress. The filler/stopper had all been rubbed down smooth and the first coat looked really well. To think that this scooter had been in such poor condition previously then seeing the paintwork beginning to look really well made me feel like we had made the right decision to restore it.

The frame, side panel, tool box & lid, the front mudguard and little addition to the photograph to remind us that all this work is being done as a tribute to Joey Dunlop
