GT PERFORMER YELLOW

[munners]

The following bike listed on ebay in the US looks to have the best colour match to a performer (from what i remember) that i have ever seen.

What ya think? Or......is my memory that bad!

Nick I think the colour varys from one photo to the next... it does look quite bright yellow in some and not so in others. I think Fiola's was bright banana yellow. I don't think it would have been anything less than super bright

True.....i know the camara does lie somtimes with colours ie white tuffs.

This just looks spot on as to how i remember my mates one. I know it was bright yellow but not bright bright.

I wonder if anyone will ever get the right match?

I think its 1018 zinc yellow.

I have emailed the seller and asked anyway. Will let you know.

I've got one in 1018, got nothing else to compare with but can look like it's verging on something a bit lumo or some kind of acidic chemical colour. Your not gonna get a colour ref from a monitor and a shit picture though but have a butchers.....

That's a beaut mate

Looks correct to me.

If Steve and Dan think it's right then I'll trust there judgements, they know arses and elbows. I just had nothing original in the flesh to reference it to and confirm a correctness. Here's a good pic of some proper GT yellow......

It varies from photo to photo.

However, I have this theory, I actually think Fiola's was a different colour to production ones as they never ever looked the same. I remember seeing Fiola ride at GT show in Cantley,  Docaster, no idea what year, and his bike looked super bright in comparison to anyone I saw after that.

I wouldn't put it past Fiola either to want his own unique colour from what I've heard, great rider but I've heard from a few good sources he could be a bit of a Prima Donna.

Just my theory for what it's worth, probably talking out of my ar5e as usual.

the reason i use 1018 is because on a standard ral colour chart nothing is near it,

ral 1023 is nearest but more of a golden colour

Here's my F+F before and after powder ... 1018 was the closest match to the original colour

is more a pastel yellow than a bright yellow, dans got the right yellow i think

[munners]

It looks identical to the bars in the top pic but again it looks like there is too much flash in that bottom pic aswell.

You should be the one who knows can solve this! You have had an original.

My mate looked through the museum at the weekend and said that most in there were too yellow and that his BITD was a soft/pastel yellow which matches yours really mate.

You so should have kept that survivor one mate! Quite rare now in original yellow!

i never had the survivor, biagio outbid me buy $10, think it only went for about $250 complete, but that was a few years ago.
