Hey guys, anyone know the colour code for the Heineken Green on a premium lagger. Looking to have it re-powdered but want it close to the original colour. Cheer guys

A silver base with candy apple green would get it close if it's not already chrome underneath; SuperbikeDan would be the man to go to for it

Yes they were like a trans green over chrome, it peeled off very easily though!

the whole trans paint over chrome thing was one of the worst ideas/fads, my 97 "standard shorty" had blue over chrome and as fugazi said it peels and bubbles

so I nitromorsed it then roughed up the chrome and sprayed it with "SMOOTHITE", cherry red then white and may other colours over five or so years

smoothites the best stuff ever and sticks like turd to a carpet

Cheers lads, it's the same colour as shown in the second photo in green. It's peeled and bubbled in places. Going to have it sand blasted and powdered. I think I will have to get the colour myself for the powder coasters in order for him to do it.

good decision as chrome is a bitch to get even powder coat to settle on, sand blasting works a treat and gives the powder coat a prefect foundation

back in the day I just made do with a black&decker and wire bush head, plus rough or medium grade wet and dry to finish off, then the late 90s spray of choice "SMOOTHITE"......poor mans powder coat

the real things so much better but cost a fortune BITD

Closest you'll get is candy green powder over superchrome base. Have a chat with superbike Dan, he might be able to whack it over the chrome , was willing to give mine a go till I decided to leave it alone
