would like some feed back on this colour, it,s the nearest to baby blue as i can get,

the colour is bs20e51, i think it's pretty good and looking through the museum they

all seem differant shades

Nice colour, I always thought Ford Olympic Blue which they did the MKI and MKII RS Escorts in was very close to Baby Blue.

Google the colour and see what you think.......

Finally Dan!!!!

I guess my OM Flyer will be visiting you in the winter now!

Bring the F&F to MK to match it against someones NOS Quad or Ripper - we'll be able to see for sure then...but it does look in the right ball park mate!

Looks great Dan
DINGO

thanks dingo if anyone would know the colour it would be you,

this is such a hard colour to match as no one has a definate code and there are

so many shades of blue, like i said if you look at se in the museum they all

look differant

This one is owned by Muxster in the US and is as close as you will get as he had some custom powder made that was matched from the original SE paint on this before he refinished it

and a frameset, not sure if this is nos?

looks very close to the top one

My Kappa PK20 was a little too "bright" I think?

DINGO

what we should do at milton keynes is get all the baby blue SE bikes together to see the shade difference lol.
i bet there all different.
i know my quads proper old colour under the stickers was slighly darker of a blue than what it is now.

ral 5024 pastel blue is a little closer than the bs20 e 51 cornflower blue,

the bs20e 51 cornflower blue looks great though,

i had the standard 125r i sold recently done in it

just had a look at that colour, in my opinion not even close this is where it's hard, everyones

judgement of a colour is so different,

i can see your point about peoples different judgement of colour,

but from the pic below you can clearly see that the ral 5024 fall guy is definitely closer to "baby blue" than the bs20e51 standard 125r,

maybe its just my eyes!
