Almost done but changing colour
philward:
Thanks Menno, info from the expert appreciated. My 2 stage metallic is acceptable on a none standard bike (wouldn't have attempted on my original spec bikes) but ok on this build (the original pic of bike is not buffed/polished). Looking for 2 stage car colour similar to these so I can access mainstream proprietary aerosols at reasonable prices. I'll stick to 2 stage metallic - if you have difficulty, I will have 10% chance of getting it right! Thanks again

must admit, I have only ever done the silver basecoat, tinted colour over 2 stage stuff. I guess the devil is in the final layer on top.
I can also remember the days when you could buy decent paint in actual bike colours, with decent amounts of solids in the spray too. Back when all this was just fields, and sweet shops had jars of loose sweets in them, and so on. Ay...kids today cant even spell rickets....

I've almost decided to go for a Vauxhall Rock Orange - have done a colour in thingy on the photo and quite like it
Googled what primer colour to use and inconclusive - just says dark primers for dark and light for light - one site says 'Reds , yellows and oranges can be highly transparent and the base color will change the value/ shading of the color' - what do you think?
Woodside:
Very similar to this colour .
No idea on what code it is but its candy .
And very very near to the original colour of the nos side panels I had ..
As it happens my mate had the candy left from a job he done 10-15 years ago
I always thought it was somewhere near the vauxhall colour and also the Ford ranger pick up..
Looks great in the sun
philward:
That looks really good - do you know what colour primer he used?
