Colin Lindsay Posted August 28, 2019 Report Share Posted August 28, 2019 Forgive me guys n gals, I'm feeling lazy but I can't find the proper name for the interior grey paint for early Heralds (grey steering wheel etc) and the gold for the rocker cover. Anyone got the correct name and / or paint code? I know the club has the gold, but the grey? Last I bought was from Bill at Rarebits, so you can tell how long ago that was. (Actually I did search for five minutes or so but every search I entered using the terms rocker AND cover AND gold gave me the results of every post that contained any of the words, including AND...)

dougbgt6 Posted August 28, 2019 Report Share Posted August 28, 2019 Battle ship? Grey is the new black, apparently. Why would you paint anything grey? How about Mimosa? db Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin Lindsay Posted August 28, 2019 Author Report Share Posted August 28, 2019 Ever seen a mimosa steering wheel on a Herald? It's all Paul Marshall's fault on the interior mirror thread, as I've realised how tatty mine are and want to blast and repaint them in the correct shade of grey. Bill Davies had aerosols of that colour made up, but he's now stopped trading, although I can probably get back in touch if need be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Lewis Posted August 28, 2019 Report Share Posted August 28, 2019 do you have a sample you can take to a paint factors for a scan and colour match i no HQ do this but thats a lot of miles apart Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin Lindsay Posted August 29, 2019 Author Report Share Posted August 29, 2019 HQ sell the gold but as usual geography means I pay twice as the carriage often exceeds the cost of the original item! I might just end up spraying the rocker cover black, like all the others.. The interior bits I can probably match from available greys over here.

Badwolf Posted August 29, 2019 Report Share Posted August 29, 2019 Do Hammerite still do gold(ish) in either smooth or hammered. Did my cover in smooth black (I think), may have been BBQ paint, got all sorts on the shelf. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin Lindsay Posted August 29, 2019 Author Report Share Posted August 29, 2019 As you can see it's more Orange than gold, but that's what I'm used to calling it. It was only on a whim, I have five or six rockers sandblasted recently and all resprayed either silver or black, so wanted a change... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
