I put the tank in, and said ,same as the last time. [ he did black 2 years ago]. the tank was a yellow one, i had rubbed down , and there was a trace of yellow underneath, So by the time he got round to it, he seen the yellow , and just presumed [ mother of all FKups], he made a great job,,, I still got the yellow, am gonna do it Orange, like theDT250C,
February 10, 20187 yr Moderator I think the yellow is pretty good. Shame that decal doesn't have a speedblocks touch to it somehow.
February 11, 20187 yr Moderator I always put masking tape on and write whose it is and what colour. I even print pictures to give the painter idea. can't expect busy eeps to remember what you said months ago.
