Me and my brother tore every piece that could be coated or polished off a 86' Honda VF1000R Interceptor.

The bike was dumped (thanks to a 8 year old girl that doesnt know how to look both ways) so we had a number of scratches on the exhuast and fork. We'll be fixing and painting the fiberglass ferrings that got a bit cracked/scratched to match the outcome of the

This a stock photo of the bike (except for black rims, previous owner painted them white)

I found a pic of what that I think is the direction we are going to go with.

Much of the stock red is faded to an orange.


The part have been coated with a silver base (little bit of flake) with 2 coats of Translucent Red over the top.

Just a sample ,

Rims in their hideous stock form. Previous owner painted white over black. Lots of blasting to gettem clean.

The rims in various lighting
