Today I took the shocks apart and cleaned them up and painted them. I did one at a time, just so I could see a before and after picture side by side, haha. I think it came out pretty nice, hopefully the paint on the coil springs will last.
I used Duplicolor engine enamel - Chevrolet Orange Red DE1607 for the coil and silver
Duplicolor caliper paint for the shock. The Plastic isolator got flat black generic paint for plastic.
Next I will fix and paint / polish the left side cover, and paint the right side cover and the cylinder head. Also I need to paint the wheels since they are currently two different colors, this caliper paint seems to be a great match to the original sliver color.
I found a new original chain guard on ebay and ordered it for $25 shipped, cant wait to get that on the bike. Looks like the original one was broken off.
