+1 to mkeller, with one exception - if it were me, and I was repainting, I'd want to keep the feel of the original with new materials - clearly the flames were "eyeballed" originally, so I'd not want them to be exactly the same after repainting.....imagine yourself showing the bike off to a fellow C&Ver in 6 months time: scenario a: "well, originally the flames were hand painted and inconsistent side to side, but I fixed that" vs. scenario b: "well, originally the flames were inconsistent side to side and I tried to reflect that in the repaint"....I prefer scenario B.....

I would not however go to the extent of some of my fellow motorcycling restorers, who tried to reproduce the factory paint drips, or molding flies into italian fibreglass because one famous bike had that originally.....
