Honda XL250 Motorsport - engine colour?
« on: September 23, 2013, 05:51:20 pm »
Hi Guys,
A mate is just finishing his XL250 Motorsport and he wants to know if there is a specific colour for the engine side covers?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

From what I've read, the closest thing is T501 Spruce Green. Made by Dupli-Color....I believe this is a Ford colour

From the XL Board:
Spruce Green on the left, original on the right.
