If I remember correctly it was aprox. 2/3 International blue to 1/3 Nassau blue and then lightly intermixing back and forth after that until I got the exact match. I had 2 full unreduced pints left over. I did sell one of the full unreduced pints last year or so and still have one left but I am...
Here is a bad experience I had back in 1988 dealing with a jerk. I made a deal with my insurance mans brother who had a 1977 Ferrari 512 Berlinetta Boxer that he agreed to sell me. He and the car were located in Hawaii. After I sent him a deposit of $ 5,000.00 , made shipping arrangements for...
You are correct on the Bonanza Blue color. It was not Nassau or Marina blue. I restored my Bonanza and took the time to correctly match the Bonanza blue to a factory painted Bonanza frame that had the original paint. I made sure to match the color to the areas that never were exposed to sun fade...
I just installed a new nos Tecumseh carburetor part # 630958b and a new muffler on my 69' Bonanza BC 1100 with the Tecumseh 3 hp engine. It started right up and seems to run good but it puffs out a little black soot from exhaust and left soot on the outside of the new muffler. I guess it is...
Well what I did was took my frame to a powdercoater, had them bead blast it for the best possible adhesian of a base for painting especially in the hard to reach areas and around the weld areas and powdercoat in a light grey color that matched primer color. Then I wet sanded the powder coat with...
Also I will try to post some pictures maybe in a few days of the finished bike so you can see the color. I am still assembling it back together. I did a full restoraion on it.
I just finished painting my BC1100 a few weeks ago using PPG brand automotive basecoat & clearcoat. I had another Bonanza frame with the original paint still on it to match the color to. I used the painted areas that were not faded by sunlight such as under the seat, the bottom underside of the...
Use a 99% Isopropyl Alcohol and a paper towell to wipe the bare metal before applying the sealer or primer. Do not touch the metal with bare hands after wiping down with the alcohol. Use rubber gloves to eliminate oil residue that can be transfered from your skin on to the bare metal. I have...
Where can I find the front fork spring cylinder shaped retainers that bolt to forks that hold the springs in place for my 69' Bonanza BC1100. Old Mini Bike Wharehouse does not carry them any more.
I just spent about 3 hours today getting my 69' Bonanza frame and forks ready to take to the powder coaters tomorrow. I hand filed out the nicks and scratches in the metal with fine file and then sanded the very fine file marks out with 80 grit sand paper. It came out very nice and no filler of...
What year is my Bonanza BC 1100 ? It has the center mounted under engine foot pegs, kidney bean wheels and the badge # on the fork plate is 22041 What was the first year for the center mounter foot peg location?
What year is my Bonanza BC 1100? I was told by the person I purchased it from was a 68' but now I think it may be a 69' or later. It has the original paint and original Tecumseh 3 hp engine but the ID tag on the engine is missing so I cant really go by that to get a better idea of what year...
