looks in pretty good nick. Will it be just a strip down and clean

Nice MK1 Burner

it looks better on the photo than it is, the paint is pretty shot at, ive been experimenting with this colour for months and think i have sorted it (paint gold first and then candy apple over the top)....(candy apple is a coloured lacquer). i would prefer originality but want this bike to be mint (i have one of each colour and this is my favourite)

Colour matching a bronze MK1 is a nightmare. Your going down the right route with the Metallic gold and red candy though. Also needs to be a Grey primer to start with. I had a my frame sprayed in Liverpool by a company that deals with small stuff like cycles and motorbike. They did a load of swatches for me to choose from and it ended up been a very close match. I don't think a 100% match has ever been achieved, so hats off to you niteflite if you nail this one    

Here's the result off what I had done in Liverpool

Very nice mk1, good luck with the resto, should come up very nicely  

niteflight, you made any progress with this ?
