    big difference. The color appears to be spot on!

    Not the proper way to restore, fast and cheap. A real resto includes polishing + clearcoat.

    The factory finish on fork lowers was not polished and clearcoated on those VFRs. Same as my 1992 and 1995. Plus he described it as a "refurbish", not a restoration. And what he did would be a restore anyway, as it restored the original finish using the same technique... spraying a finish coating of a silver color on a prepped surface.
