Title: HARO MASTER COLOUR
Post by: TUFFII on March 21, 2006, 09:18 PM

Hi everybody,
 
i'm currently building a  neon green 85 haro master and need to spray my handle bars the same colour as the frame and forks, what i need to know is the correct paint colour i need

i've been told by a powder coater that i need either a BS or a TAL number to find the correct match.
or is the colour simply called 'neon green'

any help anybody would be appriciated.

'fantastic site by the way guys'

You could take the frame down to a car paint supplier like Morrelli's they should be able to do you a pretty good colour match in 2-pack or give you the right colour codes, alternatively your local car bodyshop should have a decent paint mixing scheme  :daumenhoch:

If you're close to Ilford there's a Morelli's there....

Was his name Mark, about 6 feet 12 tall?  To be honest I haven't been there for years, my mate's Dad used to do a lot of business with them through Speis Hecker paints and I used help him out with deliveries.

hey TUFFII
your best bet, like mentioned before is to take the frame (or the forks) to a paint supplier and match it on the colour chart

welcome ro radbmx by the way  :daumenhoch:
