So I just acquired this Pace Premier 160 high arch. I now need to find the original blue catcher with Pace on it.
I have some references picture of the colour of the catcher and a few other pictures.
This really shows how small details like matching decals make these mowers colour concepts work and shows exactly why the Corvette I did in black didn't work because of the decals not finishing off the look. I now actively buy broken completely stuffed mowers from this era if they are for free or $5-$10 just for the decals, if I get extra spare parts that's just a bonus.
Yes the 2 orange cowlings are originally the same colour, they do look different shades at the moment due to different levels of fade from uv, I know because they are exactly the same shade of orange on the underside where the sun don't shine!!!! The decals on the other hand are completely different colours on both and are exactly what make the cowlings truly match the mower.
