I noticed the change in colour on the brake/clutch? lever which looks good in the last picture, how did you get the effect, was it using an airbrush?

Also is the red on the 1983 bike fluorescent, it's difficult to tell in the photos, I never know with Marlboro liveries as they are often fluorescent red.

Thanks Darren,

I've been at this for 10 years!!!!

The clutch lever on the Camel bike was simply sprayed titanium silver and coated with metallic bronze and then rubbed off on the outer part of the lever to simulate wear of the anodized finish. Easy as that!

The '83 bike is finished with Tamiya TS36 Flo red, decanted and airbrushed on.
