Matchless Chromed Badge

Original Matchless Badges

 The chromed badges turned out beautiful, I couldn't resist and placed them on the tank.

This is the mudguard number plate, I still don't know if adding the license plate numbers or some other stuff like the model of the bike and year.

Painting

Paint, Primer and a piece of cardboard with the color.

Matchless G3L parts

 I hanged most of the pieces for painting. It looks like a torture device!

Fuel Tank with primer

More Matchless parts already painted

The Matchless in bits and pieces

The fuel tank painted "army green"

New mudguards!

The new mudguards arrived! These are the military model ones. Of course they are reproductions, but very well made and heavy.

Military Style mudguards

The old rear mudguard, too damaged to be repaired by me.

These brushes were very handy to clean and polish the parts.

Primary chain case cover polished and ready to be primed.

Cleaning More Than Half a Century of Dirt and Grease!

 I had to use Kerosene to clean the parts! This process was the most time consuming

Pieces of the motorcycle in kerosene

Nitril gloves are necessary to handle the kerosene

Headlamp polished and ready to be primed

More and more bits of the motorcycle.

Dynamo

The Dynamo was in good working condition, I disassemble it, did some wiring work inside and cleaned it.
