Hi Iain I went looking for my notes could not find them so down to the shed and took some measurements of an OEM painted XR75 KO tank , the strips are 35mm wide each and run down over the rear tank tab, there is a 17mm middle gap between the two strips, I use 2000-2002 Hyundai Smoky Gray metalic paint, for the XR75 rubber gray colour, I had a friend do a colour match with a spectron analyser on a 73/4 XR75 oem nos side number plate that came up with the Hyundi colour as the closest match, it has a nice green tinge to the gray paint like the factory colour.
