Are you looking to buy a rattle can & do it yourself or powder coat & pay some one? I did quite abit of research when I did my ET. When I say research I mean walking into every car parts place in Bristol with a photo of an original bike & hold it up next to the red cans 

This from motorman seemed closest, the bike is on the wall in the lounge so everyday i look at it & wonder if it should be slightly lighter or slightly darker, either way I cant decide which prob means its about right! 

Heres a pic & if you search the forums this topic comes up quite abit





Hope that helps.... then just worry about getting the red-white fade right!

thanks for that guys , imm lookin to spray it myself  regarding the white fade shouldent be that hard as i remember spraying my wings on my capri bitd, and the overspray on the lights looked about the same

Interested to see what it comes out like, make sure you keep us updated!

This is always a nightmare because to do it right you need some original paint in the flesh. Photo's don't really cut it. The paint looked like it had been powdered on. It was also metalic and that doesn't show up in hardly any original photo's you see. Interested to see the hunt progress.
