Members cdawg Posted August 18, 2009 Members Share Posted August 18, 2009 anybody know anything about vintage yamahas? i have an old power v kit (not the special,) that i want to recover to look like an old vintage. but i'm having a world of trouble even locating old catalogs referencing colors and such. any suggestions?

Members manoeuver Posted August 18, 2009 Members Share Posted August 18, 2009 they had some wraps like silky blue and silky red backinna 70s/ early 80s. The catalogs I have from that time don't show any particularly zowie wraps-- some of the silky stuff and solid colors. the classic vintage yammy finish IMO is piano black lacquer. show us pics of your power Vs.

Members cdawg Posted August 18, 2009 Author Members Share Posted August 18, 2009 k, when i get home. yeah, the few i've seen have been sort of blue strata, and some crazy orange swirly. not real hot on those. my power v's are black, i remember seeing black, red and white when i bought mine, but again, i was thinking some cool vintage color. sadly, not much vintage yama laying around. i thought i'd paint the insides silver, like i've read the older ones were, and make them all perty.

Members skinthrasher Posted August 18, 2009 Members Share Posted August 18, 2009 I kinda been tossing the idea around for the kit I picked up off of CL! I'm only out 85 bucks so far and the Slingy snare was worth that! But anyway I've always wanted a green sparkle kit so this might be the candidate!

Members cdawg Posted August 19, 2009 Author Members Share Posted August 19, 2009 that's what i'm sayin', man! cool way to pay tribute to old school kits and have a cool keeper, to boot! plus, add the custom factor, and you have a kit built to your specs that is vintage-looking and truly unique. sounds good to me.
