Elsinore green

[Quicksilver]

Guys, I'm currently rebuilding CR125m, MR50 rebuilt to appear as mini CR50 Elsinore, also collecting bits to build a CR250m.
All three bikes will be painted the same to compliment eachother. Sliver with green stripe on tank, polished alloy tank for the 250.
Anyone know the mix or a paint code for Elsinore green? If no code is available what do most people use?Whats closest match you can get?

Any input, ideas, tips appreciated

  Ha Ha, and so the saga continues! Most people dont know and use something that they feel is close or that they like. I think there are others that know but wont tell! You can give Harry a call and ask him for the colour codes/numbers that he has on file. The silver is a good match but the green is a gloss. A forum member told me that the original green is a flat colour to stop glare. His number is 07 38003309 bh

Pretty much have silver sorted mate. As for the green if I could get hold of a good original sample from tank or sideplate I will eye match colour recording the formula when the mix is right. I have no problems sharing the codes and posting it here all for all who have Elsinore's to use. Why hide it if know  Some of  the city dwellers on the forum could get the mix easier by going to ( with a sample ) to one of those scan and mix paint joins. I heard they are 99% spot on to colour scanned and will give the formula if ask for it.

I have a couple of Elsinore bits including a new front round number plate, It's the same green as the tank. When you bring my Yam 100 over you can pick up the rest of the stuff.

Yam 100? I have 2 Suzuki 100s, one of them you dumped here. Did you want it back lol.  Dont have any other Yamaha 100s except a DT100 that runs but need good tidy up. Want it? All yours.

Remember I was chasing a Yam with the inclined cylinder for the old bomb sixties "scrambler"? Keep you eyes out for me boxhead!

" Hey Folks if you have been looking for paint to match the "tahitian red" that was used on the 1974-86 Honda off road bikes, I have found and used about the closest match you will find! It is snap-on tool box red part# REP12A, you can order it by the can for a nice price from snap-on.

it has matched the paint and plastic on the 1975-1983 Honda Elsinores that I have made new again thrugh the years.  "

Yep, the green stripe on the tank was NOT gloss but a semi gloss as best as I can describe it from memory of mine - a sort of low sheen but not flat (as in a blackboard)

Hope it helps you

The green on the tank is different to the green on the side & front plates as well.
