Yeah good luck finding that colour Craig!

I tried for ages, including asking the OM
Only way you'll get it is to find something in original paint that hasn't faded in the sun and see if SBD can match it

In the end I just went for something I was happy with (which is probably a bit darker)

I had this 83 PK refinished stateside in what was a very close match to it's original SE Candy Blue. I'm trying to pop to SBD in the next week or two to drop some parts off, if you fancy I can drop this off for Dan to cast his colour card over???

Its a hard one to match as sunlight plays a big part in the finish...when the frames indoors it seems to go a shade or two darker and loses its 'candy' effect, but outside in the sun its awesome.

McQueen your the man that colour looks spot on!
If you dont mind taking over to Dan to get a colour match for me i will hopefully be able to repay a favour one day, If not and your at MK this year a beer or two will be coming your way

If you could let me know as soon as you go over as i have a couple of frames sets to get over to him.

Thanks sooooo much Craig

Forks were nos prior to install and the correct colour. Frame was painted to match the fork.

Hi skki3330,

I popped into SBD this afternoon and he's seen my PK and is happy on the shade of Candy blue that I've got.

SBD also showed me some photo's of a frame and fork he's just finished in Candy Blue and it looked identical to mine.....not sure what base you have, i.e. if you have chrome already, but SBD is using a near chrome base coat that I saw that looks fantastic.

Good luck, hope to see some photo's once its done.
