Title: Kuwahara ET paint code?
Post by: mivvi on January 31, 2008, 11:30 AM

Would anyone have the paint code for the Kuwahara ET? The red that is. My mate droped the forks on the floor when picking up the frame thinking the headset had been fitted. I had it all restored a while back and am now gutted! Something close would do, there are only a few small chips. Cheers all.  :daumenhoch:

If its just a touch up - I found some airfix paint which is identical  :daumenhoch:

Humbrol Enamel - Gloss Red No 20 - On the bottom of the tin the no is 20 / A0223

The lid looks too dark but its spot on  :daumenhoch:

Hey Nick that sounds perfect! There are only 3 or 4 chips from where they hit the floor. So is that a metallic finish like what I have?  ???

Ah well that should be just the ticket. Thanks for the offer but with the paint code/info you gave me, I should be able to track it down. If I get no luck, I might be in touch though, lol. Thanks again, at last I can get this fixed.  :daumenhoch:
