Title: Restoring a Hutch TrickStar
Post by: brass monkey! on December 02, 2005, 04:48 PM
Hi - I'm currently restoring and building up an original Mk 1 Hutch Trick Star, does anyone know what the pantone finish ref's are for the original colour scheme, mine is lavender, but in need of a serious re-coat. I think they came in other colours? Pink, Cherry red etc?? Also what finish would be best? Powder coat, re-sprayed and laquered?? Also anyone selling a pair of decent condition Hutch Forks for the original Trickstar out there??
Thanks Matt (aka monkeybiscuits)

trickstar came in black,light blue ,metal flake blue ,candy apple red ,lilac ,lavender,white ,futuristic black and good old chrome .
best bet for colour match is take your frame to a paint shop with paint still on and get a match from there . is this the trickstar that was on ebay a few days ago ?

I noticed there were some original trickstar forks on ebay USA the other day. Do a search they might not have ended yet

Yes, the Trickstar was bought from ebay recently, a bit of serious tlc needed, but the frame is pretty much in a decent structural state, I haven't yet decided what to do with it, bought it as I couldn't find a decent priced Ripper.

If I can get the forks, I'll probably keep it, but may re-coat and sell it off if not. I have the original stickers to go with it, so could be back in original shape soon.
