Post by: Mongo40 on August 07, 2017, 12:50:17 PM
Ok I've done a search an found a bunch of info but not what I need, the Blue Grey color on the 90 bike I did find the formula for it in enviro friendly water base but my auto paint store only uses Deltron the lacquer based paint, does anyone have the codes for the Deltron mix for Blue Grey??? Thanks

Paint codes used to be important in the old days. Not so much today. Most quality auto painters have a color analyzer that can match, with a high degree of accuracy, what ever color you scan. These guys matched my Stormy Red color on my '84 dead nuts, even down to the sparkles.

The blue/grey color combo on your '90 is one of my favorites :good2:
