I do not understand what a "custom paint kit" is?

Triumph factory in the early R3 series made special paint jobs available which were done by a famed UK custom paint shop for Triumph. Besides the stencilled Tribals in various colors there were a number of different versions of the hand painted flames in both 'ghost' and 'standout' in a number of color combinations as well.

The red with flames version are visible on a member's R3 'For Sale' classified advert thread from last year. It sold eventually but nothing to do with this I think.

Nope - Not into flames or gold glitter. Or yellow really.
