Paint codes

Post by Stu.B »

Does anyone have a paint code for the Gold Dummy tank on the Sports Arrow. I found some old numbers but my paint supplier does not recognise them.
Thanks
Stu.

Yes I tried the information you refer to at a BSB Group a large supplier the could not find a code but could match a sample. The paint on my dummy tank is old and failed I was trying to find a modern code?

Try using the paint on the inside of the tank, behind knee grips or polishing an area with a cutting compound. Alternatively you can buy paint that has already been matched at RS paints. Click on 'paint equivalents' here https://draganfly.co.uk/product-categor ... ow-leader/
