Hi everyone, I’m new to the club and this is my 1st post and hopeful some of you have better knowledge than me.

im just starting to completely refurbish a 1980 DT175 MX and wondering about the frame colour? It’s obviously black but it’s not gloss or Matt, looks like satin. Does anybody know if there is a paint code? Does anyone know how the frame was painted in the Japanese factory? I assume it was not power coat? What’s the original method?

any help would be appreciated 

thanks Donny 

Try entering the registration number into the search box on the RS Paints website. It should give you all of the paint codes

Thanks, I will give that a try
