I am after some paint to touch up my military,


Does anyone know if the factory colour has a BS or RAL equivalent?


Any suggestions for helping paint bond to ally and chrome?


I have bought some olive green from our hosts, but there are

Two shades on Tornado already!







Ex chrome areas are later painted, nice but shade a bit off.









It's the boots that knock it off!

Self Etching primer is the best thing on alloy also known as acid primer. On chrome break the surface first with a bit of emery cloth or glass paper then apply etching primer.

Thanks Paul, I will go get some!


Do Homebase still do colour matching on their paint machine?

If so, I think Tornado will fit though the doors and down the isle,

Or should I just take a side panel in LOL!

Thanks Paul


The self etching primer worked unfortunately

I still haven't got the correct shade for the bike.
