You mentioned Yellow ? Can't remember seeing to many yellow redlines :-\
Could be cool with black tuffs n black bits :coolsmiley:

Yeah the frame was in top condition once rubbed down. Yeah i know white is the main color for these but i wanted to be diff. I was thinking of yellow with white tuffs and bits. mmmmmmmmm think ill have to stand in the local car shop and have a think about it.

Early Redline MXII's were available in yellow but unfortunately the colour was fazed out. The 500a / 600a is a 1983/84 Frameset and was available in white, black, blue, red and chrome!
Personally I only ever saw them in chrome and white (I had one bitd) but I've seen the 102b framesets which are the same in the other colours. I think the 102b was the overseas name for the 500a / 600a.
Hope this helps

If you find a good paint shop they will make up the paint you want and they can also load it into cans ready for you to spray. So yes in theory you can do candy with rattlers.
I had 2 litres of 2 pack Candy red made up a few years ago the cost was £75

What about a nice Ron Burgundy Blazer Red paired with some White action slacks (forks)? 8)

Or what about a cheeky Chuck Norris Red, White & Blue combo:

Does clear lacquer not affect the white colour. Years ago, I painted the petrol tank off an old Yamaha XT :smitten: and it looked fine until I applied a few coats of lacquer and the white ended up yellowy . :( I gave it to my uncle who worked in a bodyshop and he sorted it properly after my aborted effort. :-[
-
No fella it has kept nice and white.
