1980 USA Redline MXII in Red Colour?
« on: September 18, 2006, 02:54 PM »
Hey Guys,

I bought a nice NOS set of Redline V Bars in Red on ebay. I've got and early MXII Frame and forks ready to paint to match the bards and wondered if anyone knew a paint code or something for the Redline red used around 1980? None of the powder coating red colours are a match so I'm looking at getting it sprayed as this is how they were done back in the day anyways. Also, any recomendations for who I should get to do the paint job... I need it to be mint and live in the Manchester area.

Cheers dudes

John

Thanks for the replies dudes!

As for Candy or Solid Red, I'm not sure. The red on the NOS bars I have seems like a solid, very rich but has very slight magenta tinge to it with a clear laquer coat to finish... so is that candy red? I got a set of these bars for christmas back in the early 80's and the red is just how I remember it.

Cheers

John

P.S. I'm having major problems trying to get my bike images up on this website.... whats the score with that?

Nope.... none of that stuff in the thread means an awful lot to me as I'm using a mac and not a pc. I've tried using the additional options menu but after attaching a tiny 80K pic it just tells me the upload folder is full or something.

This is like really pissin me off as I've got a couple of real nice rides to show off!!!!!

I'm using a Mac too. Use photobucket and cut and past the url from the image in photobucket in between these tags:

[ img] and [ /img] (ignore the spaces after the first bracket though)
