This tank was originally painted many years ago by Ken Holt, who was (as I understand it) widely regarded as the “go to” guy for BMW paint. From what I gather, he’s pretty much phased out and retired at this point. This customer reached out to me after damaging this tank that was on his bike. I’ve painted dozens of these R90s over the last 8 years or so (this certainly isn’t my first rodeo dealing with painting R90’s!) but I thought y’all might like to see some pictures of the process. To see hundreds more of my paint restoration photos, just google BD’s Cycles (sorry, FB won’t allow me to just add the link!). I have a very long backlog, but if you’ve got questions about getting your bike painted, you can text me directly from the phone number provided on my website.
