Nc23 type 5 decal help

Post by twostroker » Sun Dec 24, 2017 10:47 am

I have recently brought a scruffy nc23 that I am going to give a light restore

The fairings are in a poor state and half will require plastic welding or finding better ones.
That’s not too much of a concern but I’m really struggling to find a half decent type 5 reproduction decal kit before I attempt to repair them
does any one have a recommendation?

It just seems a shame to bin them in favour of some Chinese fairings unless I have to.

Nice genuine 13k mike bike that I’m sure would be more desirable with its original fairings albeit resprayed or am I wasting my time and better off going straight to aliexpress?

I think you're better off saving the originals if at all possible. Chinese will cost you £300 give or take and the fit can be dodgy - check out the long list of comments on here (V4 section). I've had original panels repaired & resprayed and you wouldn't know they'd been damaged. I had them fixed and sprayed by a local, professional mate and also used Jason Farr of Farrout Paint in Congleton, then took them to Image Works in Derby, who made and fitted the stickers (did it while I waited).

If you check out the V4-Graphics & Style section and go back one page, you'll find my post about Image Works.

Hope this helps.

I'm not sure which scheme you mean, as my information is that there isn't a "No1 Type5" NC23... Did you mean No5 Type1?

But "Granite blue" usually refers to PB-184M-U, "granite blue metallic", which appears black to some people.

If you go the way of re-paint look at RS paints site, 1988 nc23 colours. They give you all colours used on that model if it's dark grey/granite blue.

Yes there will be two codes for grey and blue. I'm unsure what they are but rs paints will know or find a fiche for your bike in the documents library as colour codes will be in there. In fact i get a feeling you may need the correct colour base coat as well as the U in the code seems to suggest an undercoat is needed.

There is a Code for the paint scheme and one or more paint Colours per Code.
