Thanks for the link, thats interesting but still I'm none the wiser!!

There are too many opinions on the various choices, and too many choices!!

When I bought the frame it had been badly painted but the colour looked right, until I compared it to a survivor and it was way off!

Are the new reissues the same colour as the originals does anybody know??

there's two ways of painting this, silver base coat then a tinted red clear coat, the other way that 99% go is
peugout diablo red, it's a base red coat then a clear coat over, it really looks very close to the original,

on the white i use base 900 white, just say that to any paint mixers and they'll know it straight away
