It's got to be green I think any other color just doesn't look right. Does anyone know the if the green it the same color code through the years. I'm needing to get my alloy tank painted when it arrives and don't want it a different shade of green.

Anyone knows what's the RAL CODE for Destry's frame? OEM CODE?

Thank you!

 i just wish i had a big enough oven. i redid a set of rims and i dont have anything nearly large enough to bake rims in so they got like 50 f**king coats of grabber green 2 cans of clear matte  between coats on both and and a whole can of that clear flex coat rubber  paint for the tail end. they look fricken super right now. but i dont expect them to look so good after riding season is upon me again and ive put out in the dirt and rocks. i have anothe set of silver rims and another set of hubs. i would like to do another set exactly likew these are . i used grabber green for the rims and g;oss black on the hubs. black spoke nipples and green spokes would be cool to but anyway what charge would you put out for 2 rims 2 hubs 72 spoke nipples and 72 spokes? i think 36 per rim. its close i know that> i know rims arent frames but when you powder coat theyre just as large to bake.
 i want a black frame that has metastatic gold you can see in the right lighting

Im Rebuilding my 88 250 and came up with a color scheme that is a little different but kind of reminds me of the late 80's/early 90' colors that were popular. Let me know what you guys think....the picture are just quick photo edits but you'll get the idea.

actually that 250 color is alright. original. like the spokes i think id try matching the green on the front shock covers but its also not my scheme or bike. just an observation. and then purple rims with green hubs. i like it.. clean and original. nice job.
