I *like** the colour, the paintjob is really poor. Photos do help a bit, but the lug lining for instance, is ridiculously bad. Also the frame has been repaired, according to the seller... seized stem, meaning the the seat-lug and around 2inches around are painted on a darker shade of blue.
That´s when I´ve realised there´s no can do, it has to be re-painted. Not sure if it will be blue though, I would prefer any other colour to blue*. I´ll probly send it to either Mercian or ? to be repaired (covering brake holes), repainted (will try to get Carlton´s colour references), re-IDed (head badge and new decals)..... might even re-chrome some bits if necessary.
