1968 R60/2 Partial Restoration
1968 R60/2 Partial Restoration
I picked up this 68 R60/2 last summer after a long search for an old Vintage BMW. Overall its in good shape. Im the 3rd owner and the bike has around 37K miles on her. From the history the engine and transmission has been rebuilt and the bike has been partially painted several times. Since its not the original paint I have decided to strip her down, touch up the frame, clean her up, inspect her condition and paint the fenders, headlight/ears and tank. My goal is to get rid of all the rust, bare metal, old bushings. oil leaks and restore her back to a good looking daily rider.

That looks GREAT! I just rode

paint
Avus 086 black paint. Color-Rite has it and there is a match to a PPG as well. I hear its a one stage paint, just prime and shoot the Avus black. My painter however says it needs a clear coat. If he adds a clear coat do you paint the stripes before or after the clear coat? So many questions, sorry. Im getting the pinstripes hand painted.
thanks
