Thanks for the info, i wondered how the paintwork had been done, I've not seen anything like it before.matthew wrote:I'm pretty confident that scoot belonged to a guy camped next to me at Kite Hill on the Isle of White a couple of years ago. I recognise the paintwork, he told me he had painted it by hand with nail varnish over a black base coat with a heap of lacquer over the top. The paintwork looked great, I think it took quite a few bottles of nail varnish to do the whole scoot.
Thats very interesting, thanks for your reply. Do you know anything else about it. Did your friend Darren do its current paintwork / build etc and how long ago? Any info gratefully received. Ps. Do you think Darren would mind if you pm'd me his number for a chat about it, cheers.brmspeedwell wrote:hi this scoot belonged to a freind of mine darren walton in surrey he painted it by hand its a sx150 frame and was a red taffy suzuki 190 about 25 years ago what do you want to know?
Well its a credit to him, he did a good job of it. The paintwork is still in very good condition, how long ago would you say he did it? Did he also put the Ts1 motor in it?ridden not hidden wrote:yeah thats darren walton's (wally's) scooter alright and the paintjob was done quite some time ago and beleive it or not it was done with his wifes nail varnish by hand i kid you not!
