September 7, 20187 yr 10 minutes ago, feetupfun said: https://trials.com.au/forum/viewtopic.php?t=5545 I have an old Sammy Miller catalogue which says Ford sunburst red. I would think that any car paint supplier could mix this for you. For silver grey Ford silver fox is decent match as well. I have used both, quite happy with the result. Hope this helps............
September 7, 20187 yr Author Is ford sunburst red the factory original red what is on the 191 or the torch red i dont want close to it but spot on with colour .Thanks for help
September 7, 20187 yr Just in case you weren’t aware, the Bultaco factory mixed paint ‘by eye’ which means that in terms of RAL or any other colour measurement system ‘spot on’ is but a whimsical notion. ?
September 7, 20187 yr Author Thankyou sir for informing me.Just presumed colour had a certain name.Seen so many red tanks different shades if going to do a job need all the info on it
September 8, 20187 yr Author Quote I see someone enjoyed your your whimiscal notion reply.In liverpool this is our slang spot on to us is want job perfect.My mind is not as it use to be i forget things old age.I have a lot of Bultacos most in bits and wanted to start building them.The other gentleman wear respectful with their answers.Yesterday was first time i ever wrote in any group furum and today my last as not well enough to fence with people or read their condescending replies
September 8, 20187 yr Sorry if I offended you, no intent to do so. My apologies and don’t let a whimsical comment keep you from posting here there is a wealth of knowledge, advice and encouragement here, along with a smattering of ****ocks. Cheers Edited September 8, 20187 yr by paulmac
September 8, 20187 yr Tsk, tsk, Old man - far too touchy. You came here seeking advice - which was freely given. Everyone in this free world is entitled to his own opinion. No need to go off the deep end........ (This is from another old man with lots of Bultacos)

Keeps you on your toes though doesn’t it.....discussion and such like? Seriously hope that your physical pain abates enough for you to enjoy your Bultaco....mine (Bultaco that is) has helped me through some real issues.
September 9, 20187 yr Hugh,s Bultaco has PPG paint codes listed on their website and the Grabber blue that we used on my brothers 199A looks pretty good. The PPG code they have for Bultaco red is Torch Red DAR 74013.
