Hi all,
As far as paint colour is concerned there is absolutely no commercially made paint that comes close to the colour that Scott Bonnar used on your machine. The Galmet colour chip is nothing like the actual colour so please disregard the colour chip you've seen. The only way you'll be able to replicate it is to get a can of "Silver" Hammertone and have it colour matched from the inside of your chain case before you have it sand blasted and that will give you the best result.
Have a look at the machine that member "mikeo" has restored and that's about the best match I've seen on this forum. At this stage we are still hopeful that mikeo can get the actual formula from his paint supplier and share it with us as this will make life really easy for all the new members that come to the ODK forum. BTW there are no records of any of the colours used by Scott Bonnar on file with any of the Australian paint manufacturers and no records from SB have survived after Rover took over in 1980.
Cheers,
BB
