I believe it was only the J and K '72/'73 models that came out in Aspen Yellow. Although it's a shared listing it's a lighter yellow than the Phlolina Yellow of the '74 and onwards TM and RM's. My best advice for paint is wait till you have your guards and then have the paint colour matched to those and or have the whole lot painted at once. Parts Plus 'yellow glow' is very close to the Aspen yellow ;) nice project by the way, look forward to seeing it completed 8)

I noticed that paint formula had a lot of clear in the mix. Would be a good idea to spray it over a White base. If you try to spray it over any colour other than white, you wont get the right match. This goes for a lot of yellows. ;D

you can get some real good results with Holts, use their primer (bumper primer on plastic) and clear. I have used light grey primer under every color with no special problem.

whats 484? do you mean 428?

common chain sizes are
420
428
520
525
530

off the top of my head im not sure on the pitch dimensions but i would have it in a book somewhere.

ok i looked up TM 250 71-75 and they are 525 which is the same as my TS250 which i converted to 520
