Paint code for XR 75 frame
« on: January 15, 2008, 10:58:42 am »
Anyone know the right shade of red for XR 75 frames?
Signal red seems close, can anyone inform me better?

Thanks in advance.

I found that my K4s are not red like the repro plastics I got from the states. More orange then red. An almost perfect match to the orange is Ford red pepper Heres a sample how close it is.  An original XR75 1977 K4 against freshly painted door jam of a red pepper XB. Very close. Bare in mind its not exact and XR75 swing arm needs a little polish. Its about as close as you'll with ready mix formula.

Wish I could find a match to the red pastic's as easy.

Quicky.
