Hello

does any one know the white colour code or paint name for my dt250mx 1980? UK, white with red/blue stripe tank.

there should be a gray colour code sticker on the frame next to vin, but my one went a long time ago!!!

I have had it many years from 82 and want to do my now second referb, the first was in 94'ish.

I want to send the tank off for referbing, but I have never know what white paint to use. i think is ford diamond white at the mo!!

Had a good search on the net and could not find anything specific, pure white or peal white maybe!!!

thanks for looking

paul

OK I'll post back some results, after the weekend!!!

I intend to look at the inside of the side pannels, as I dont think these have ever been painted since new!!

If I can post pics I will, so you can judge for yourself.

Hello

the clear white paint arrived this week and I have done a quick test.

I have included some links to pictures:-

OK, so we are looking at the inside of the original side panel, as the original battery sticker is over the white paint I am assuming this inside colour is original.

I had this bike 3rd hand in 82, so 2 yeas old at the time, so I think this colour is original.

I painted the bottom of the front mudguard, so you and I can compatre the two.

I looks very good to me.

Aye paul, original panels were colour coded, I cant post links now, as I upgraded to windows 8.1 . that's what they call progress eh,
