was that brown paint underneath the blue?

Yes the brown was underneath. I couldn't save the cream however as it was a much softer paint and no matter how slow I couldn't save it. So I got it to a certain point so I could still copy the graphics and then repainted the cream and distressed it to match the rest of the bike. V/r Shawn

She looked bad when I got it, but the paint/chrome looked solid underneath the thin layer of dust and crust.
