billendean Posted December 28, 2008 Report Share Posted December 28, 2008 Can anyone help, im restoring a 1976 TY175 and would like to know if anybody could tell me what colour shade of white the tank/exaust guard etc is as the plastics are original and are an off white almost ivory/cream in colour.

cleanorbust Posted December 28, 2008 Report Share Posted December 28, 2008 I had a '77 model in the day and from memory the exhaust guard was a brilliant white, to match the white of the tank. Mudguards and the plastic side cover were also pure white, I suspect those on your bike have yellowed with the effects of 32 years worth of sunlight. You could try a scrub with Jif using a fairly stiff brush, this will lift the dirt out of the scratches but probably won't restore things to a pristine white. Still, nothing wrong with an old warior showing the patina of age, is there? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnyboxer Posted December 29, 2008 Report Share Posted December 29, 2008 (edited) It's called Yamaha Clean White and has a bit of yellow/ivory to it, so no the same as brilliant white Try RS Paints in Barnsley - who will do an exact match in either a tin/aerosol or pain stick Edited December 29, 2008 by Johnnyboxer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bosely103 Posted December 30, 2008 Report Share Posted December 30, 2008 Hi I've just finished restoring a CR80 for my son and the plastics were a bit shabby, but came up looking good with Paint Shop panel wipes. I bought a tub off e-bay for 6 Quid they also get the dirt out of light scratches. Good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottt Posted January 1, 2009 Report Share Posted January 1, 2009 Any idea what the silver is for the frame? Or a near match. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy.t Posted January 1, 2009 Report Share Posted January 1, 2009 Hi Scott, its silver smooth Hammerite, I did post this some time ago and had the P taken, but its what I have always used and matches just fine, the best thing is if you want to give your bike a quick touch up you dont need to prime it, and the paint covers very well.
