The paints not as good as it looks in the pic. Its also gonna get used for what it was made for so its liable to pick up a few dents and scratches along the way.
Now it just so happens that i have a big tin of NATO green paint in my garage :D I cant do the front mudguard as its plastic but everything else is metal. Its so damned tempting. What do ya reckon?

You know you wanna, you'll only wish you had if yer don't :D
mind you, I met a bloke out St. Neots way years ago, he'd concreted his garden, painted it in stripes of light & dark green and put dots of yellow & white for buttercups & daisies, looked great all year round, but he did keep getting grief from the water board when the hosepipe ban was on! :D

Its ok, ive sold it anyway :D The KLR that is.
Now down to 2 bikes.
I love the idea of the jerricans on the DT but i dont think its gonna get much road use, if any. Off road they would be a bloody nightmare.
Oh, i aint using a brush, a gloss roller well do the job peachy :D
