I like the faded look of an old CS Lester. I have read BOTB thoroughly so I know it's mainly the exposure to UV light that causes discolouration of the red dye. The yellow base coat layer doesn't fade.
Now I don't know if Tokai used the same composition of the lacquer and same way of applying the lacquer coats as Gibson did back in the days and I doubt anyone knows. So now we have a streak of good weather here in Holland I have decided to give it a try on my 1979 LS80 OS. There's red in the old sunburst so it should work.
Does anyone have experience with this?
