I have never owned anything that is my favorite color-turquoise. I decided this bike would be my favorite color and anticipated some trouble getting the paint shop to mix the color. I found a 1957 Chevy paint code and figured that would be good enough but it was not, they couldn't figure out the formula to mix it. I went through their catalog and found a color I love, love, love and had them mix it, along with a classic shade of white.

And once the tape was removed, I was left with this

I repeated the process for the fuel tank but this time painted the white first
