ENAMELS
A man on a quest to recreate the genuine H-D paint of the '30s



120年超の歴史の中で数多の名機を輩出したH-D。そのそれぞれに熱心な信奉者を従えるのは周知だが、旧車専科を標榜する本誌の熱心な読者の中でも、大戦前のモデルにうつつを抜かすスキモノは稀だろう。そんなニッチな界隈で昨今話題のペインターがいる。1930年代のH-D純正塗装の解析／検証から構築したデータを元に、真のオリジナルペイントを復元するべくENAMELSを立ち上げた工藤一広だ。30s H-Dを彩るエナメル塗料の深く艶やかな色彩が世紀を超え、ここに蘇る!!



Harley-Davidson has released numerous masterpieces over its 120-year history. Each model has its own passionate devotees, but even among readers of this magazine, the group of people obsessed with Harley-Davidson’s pre-war models is likely small. However, Kazuhiro Kudo, a painter working within this niche, has recently created quite a buzz. He carefully analyzed the stock Harley-Davidson paint used in the 1930s, and using the data he obtained, started a company, Enamels, to faithfully recreate it. Now, nearly a century later, the deep, lustrous colors that adorned Harley-Davidsons in the 1930s have been revived!
