What colour?

[ssskipeee]

I`ve got the z stripped and getting ready for painting and was wondering what colour to go with for the frame.

I want to keep it as close to the original yellow as pos, does anyone know the best colour for this?

The yellow you are looking for is competition yellow. What you can do is take your fenders to the painter, and have them match it. If your painting it yourself, someone around here should be able to tell you exactly what you need to pick up.

Good luck!

Indy Yellow from PPG is the closest one Ive seen to the frame yellow.

The frame is actually a little bit oranger than the fenders I noticed.

But Indy Yellow was almost an exact match.

I dont know what company made competition yellow, dont think it was PPG they have no record of that color in there books or computer.

Thanks guys i`ll see if i can find 1 of those colours over here, i`m doing it myself so i`ve got a lot of work on the frame before it gets painted but i wanted to know a good match incase i feel impulsive and just buy the paint while i was buying everything else.

I`ve decided to have the frame and swingarm shot blasted and powder coated it`ll save me doing the work and will look much better.
