Yellow paint

(1/6) > >>

MrDavo:
Here’s a new one, call me shallow and easily impressed but one thing that makes a restored bike look ‘as new’ to me is when you see the little yellow paint marks to show certain safety critical parts such as the rear brake lever and axle nuts are still tight as they left the dealers.

Is there a service bulletin covering these? Is it a specific paint (chromate?).

RGP750:
Sorry i'm shallow and easily impressed as well.
To get the (what i consider) correct colour i mix Humbrol yellow and a tiny bit of orange "to taste" ::)
as for where it goes i try and use my memory and hope .

 Ah Humbol ..another old Hull company that went to the wall. Brake disc mounting nuts/bolts definitely had those yellow paint marks on my 1st 400/4  but no mention of applying it in this link.

Never seen a bulletin for this but, all engine to frame mounting bolts, the brake bolts, all banjo bolts, bottom yoke bolts, brake splitter bolt, swinging arm nut, rear brake pedal  and the carb adjuster nuts  ::) Not on the axle as it has a split pin  ;)

Cheers Trigg
I missed the banjo bolts, out with the paint the weekend ;D
