AJS & Matchless Owners Club

Good morning, can anyone tell me if there is a template for the gold lining on a 1952 18s?

I have been quoted £120 to have them done in gold leaf, but need to know width and spacing etc.

Is this a good price?

Thanks

If you can afford gold leaf................

Thanks for the replies, not fussed about god leaf, that was a price he gave me.
There's no chance I can do it, any recommendations welcomed

I'm not sure that gold leaf would be sufficiently durable.
£120 sounds par for the course. Professional tank spraying and/or lining doesn't come cheap. A pal has just spent c.£800 having his G15CSR tank chromed, sprayed Candy Apple Red and lined. You'd have to pay a main dealer £80 to £100+ an hour for an Oik to oil your door locks and check your washer fluid at a car service.....

Here's how the Indian Enfield tanks are done freehand . Looks pretty simple and straightforward.....

Couldn't be simpler really .....

All jokes aside, that is astonishingly skillfull!

Use club template mark outlines with knife edge egineers chalk mask up lines with fine line masking tape from car
Paint factors mask rest of tank spray your lines rmove all tape seal line with petrol resist coating I did my tank it came out ok, have look at niagras posts when he restored his bike his tank turned out like mine

Alternately look in recommendations you could try GD designs
