I am starting on a white side exhaust for a customer for a Barris that uses the big flat round muffler and I have 4 1967-1969 (2 H35 and 2 HS40's) that I...

    Picked up an ARCO the other day.......Do you think it is original color?

    Not in bad shape. It looks to be original paint. Looking at the nicks and scratches, does not look like it was painted over. Does not look like it came out of a can. Could it be original ? Thanks

    Rattle can painted Purple Taco's. Lets see them.

    I have been looking at pictures of Taco mini bikes for years. All the powder coat and spray gun bikes look great. A lot of us either can't afford to do that or don't want to spend that kind of money on a mini bike. The Taco purple is a hard color to get off the shelve at your local hardware...
