betarick Posted December 30, 2007 Report Share Posted December 30, 2007 Can anyone help me with finding the right shade of silver for a ty80 frame or is it a case of matching it up the best you can! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moment88 Posted January 29, 2008 Report Share Posted January 29, 2008 I don't know what type of paint you're using but for me, I was on a fairly tight budget. I had no choice but to spray the frame myself with a spray bomb. I used Rust-Oleum Metallic brand Silver Metallic and it matched the NOS kickstand I had very closely. I didn't use a clear top coat, I think in hind sight I should have. It looks damn good for a "home spray" though. Much better than the ridiculous red the PO painted it. I'm new to this sight, as soon as I can figure out how to post photos, I'll put some up of my progess. I started my restoration in November, mine is about 85% done.

scottt Posted January 30, 2008 Report Share Posted January 30, 2008 Much better than the ridiculous red the PO painted it. I was sat here thinking "why are the Post Office using TY80's" then I realised PO = Previous owner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
