Title: GT Candy Blue Paint Code
Post by: Daletsunami on July 01, 2011, 10:33 AM
I know this is normally a powder job but a guy near me said he will paint some forks for me and if I like it I might then go down the full proper job route so does anybody know a paint code for this or a paint code for a very near match?

Most bikes back then were painted

And most Candy colours were high gloss metallics

So you should get a good likeness with paint.

SBD does paint as well as powder  :daumenhoch:

Spot on cheers, I thought that the candy colours were always powder so that's good to know.

Hopefully I will get a good match for this now then  8)

If it helps at all here is my old SE Mauler with the original SE Blue paint, dated about 1982 / 84

It was metallic Blue not candy blue
