Scooterotica

Hey all, I'm planning a Armandos inspired p range build up. I will attempt my first full paint job. I am having a hard time pulling good high res images off the web for research. If anyone has some to share or can tip me to where to look it would be very helpful. Thanks.

Changed my incorrect spelling of Armandos and I will likely get better results in my search, thanks for the advice Speed Demon.

there's a few in this thread and a link to more.

Would you consider doing an Armandos replica instead?

ok pal have a look at these two sites,agree do a replica you can still get 80s stuff and pinasco are doing the twin carb kit again

www.blueandgoldsc.co.uk
plenty of pics on these (blues and gold have a dtc page)

cheers rob

I will have a look at those, thanks. I would love to do a replica except I am upgrading in a couple areas, Namely a full hydraulic front disc and a JL righty. I am using a TM 27 with a powerjet instead of twin carbs but I'm definatley going Pinasco with a Long stroke crank. This is the scoot that I'm doing the Pacific Coast Hwy run from San Francisco to Seattle with my 70 year old dad. Who, just bought a hopped up T5 last year which he describes as "Peppy". As far as doing the Armondos paint, it will be my first full paint up by myself, I have some excellent advisors at hand but still it's got to be managable for me. I've got 3 wee kids so paying someone their due for a full paint up is out of the question. I've been collecting 80's bits including a bunch of killer bits (including a fornales shock) that went missing in a shop closure.

This one belongs to a mate of mine, I'm hoping he won't mind me sharing them

Thanks guys. Thanks for the pm speedy. Rosscia, that's a great couple of detail shots, cheers. I may have made a great score on the use of a huge spray booth at the movie studio where I work. I will post photos when I start.
