Mongo Posted March 15, 2021 Report Share Posted March 15, 2021 Hi Thanks for letting me in. I have a Bultaco M10 in great condition which has been in dry storage for approximately 40 years in Guernsey and now in the UK. The engine is in the frame but everything else is bubble wrapped in a couple boxes ready to go. I'm going to start the restoration very soon and I wondered if someone knows the paint code for the frame, I originally had the frame powdercoated in grey but now realise how stupid i was in doing so, i intend getting it stripped and sprayed properly. Thanks Mark 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

woody Posted March 16, 2021 Report Share Posted March 16, 2021 There isn't an actual paint code that Bultaco used. I've seen RAL 9006 recommended. Or the old Ford late 1960s colour of Silver Fox is a good match Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
