pitley Posted February 16, 2006 Report Share Posted February 16, 2006 Hi folks. Any one here know the official yellow frame paint,name,shade used on the godden frames? Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
austini Posted February 17, 2006 Report Share Posted February 17, 2006 I aquired one of the first majesty frames from Don Godden back in the late 70's, I won't go into details!!!!!!!!!! I don't know if he is still at the same address (East Malling, Kent) but he should know the paint scheme. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnyboxer Posted February 17, 2006 Report Share Posted February 17, 2006 (edited) I thought the Godden frames were post 1980 and were nickel plated, not painted. I believe the yellow painted frames were just modified standard TY frames Mine is a 1982 model Edited February 17, 2006 by Johnnyboxer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
austini Posted February 17, 2006 Report Share Posted February 17, 2006 Very nice!!!!! are the gold rims the original colour? To tell the truth it may of been early 80's when I got the frame, unfortunatly I have no pics of the bike all I can remember I sold it in 85ish.

woody Posted February 17, 2006 Report Share Posted February 17, 2006 Can't help with the original yellow paint code but it was quite a pale shade, bit like the Ossa Gripper shade. If you're not too bothered about the correct shade, paint code RAL1021 (or Number 3, depending on which powder coaters you use) is a richer, deeper yellow, like a Beamish and also is a good match for the yellow mudguards that are available (Gonelli, Stilmoto, Beta Rev 3 front, Pattern Yam rear in yellow) I know the guards were white originally but if you were thinking of doing it all yellow that paint code matches pretty well with those guards in yellow. The original paint shade would be too pale. How are you getting along with the rebuild? Are you going for an original finish on it? Mine is nearly done but not in time for the opening round of the Classic in Cornwall although I'm not too bothered about missing that one. It will be done for Bootle. See you at the show next week I imagine. In response to another question, I think Majesty colour schemes were something along these lines; Yamaha framed bikes - yellow frame, yellow tank/white guards red tank decals Early Godden Framed bikes yellow frame, white tank/white guards yellow tank decals Some Godden Framed bikes chrome or nickel plated frame (don't know which) white tank/white guards yellow tank decals Last of the Godden framed bikes were red frames as Yamaha wanted them to be in what had become Yam corporate colours of red/white, white tank/white guards red tank decals. These also had no rear frame loop over the mudguard This is not absolute and I could be wrong in part. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

woody Posted February 24, 2006 Report Share Posted February 24, 2006 The yellow on the swingarm of that bike looks to be near the yellow of the original Majesties Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
