I tried many various frame designed paints and none of them held up well as Dupli-Color Wheel base paint...
Downfall... Limited colors...

Thanks Kid, the green looks good, I've used PJ1 myself and like it as far as rattle cans go.

Regarding the steering head stickers. Carefully remove the label..CAREFULLY. Scan it. Bring it to a print shop so they can print it on white vinyl. I've only heard of one guy that found a material that was almost an exact match to the OEM. He had to get it from a relative in the Netherlands. Good luck!

The Z1 decals are not on white vinyl. It's a paper label with a clear packing tape-type protector over it.

Would that be PJ1 Fast Black semi-gloss, or gloss black? Thanks.
