2004 Milano Red TSX, Detail + Correction

Hi everyone,

This is a brief write-up of a red tsx xbr50 and I detailed this past weekend. The owner, tsxsingh, is here on the acurazine forums. Just a couple before & after’s 50/50 shots. Unfortunately we finished late at night so we weren’t able to capture any shots in the sunlight after but the paint was popping red after.

Thanks for the compliments everyone!

Lol yeah the single stage paint turned my pads partially red while compounding. Luckily most of it washed out the day after though.
