Hi Marty,

How about some photos of how the Red and Grey paint work turned out?

I am interested to see what the paint colours you found look like [-o<

Cheers,
Bernie

Hi bernie!!
Well I went to the trouble of finding really good colour matches with the paint readily available for vehicles and bikes, and I mixed and sprayed some bits......
Then I saw a picture of a red kr with a black frame... It looked rubbish. Sorry guys!!! The red kr with a black powdercoater frame looks pants.
However...... The same bike with a silver frame would look unbelievable!!
Soooo in a few months I will post a picture of my version of a kr1s.........

The colour codes I gave earlier on in this thread are very very close to the original. The metallic flake texture is a little different and the silver is oh so lighter. Only a minter in the sun would look different.
As for rs bike paints, the paint that they mix is usually available on most car body shops computers, again I looked at them, but firecracker red has quite a lot of shades!!!!!

Cheers Martin.

Hi Martin,
Are the paint codes for the firecracker red and gentry grey metalic available?
Cheers

Yes they are still on the computer at work. Their are a few shades and years of firecracker red on the screen, I suppose I could mix 50mls of them send see which is the closest.... Best not tell the boss though!
On a more interesting note I mixed kawa greens from the kr1s years..... Thier are 3 to choose from. All very similar.
Cheers martin.
