Best if you can find an old bit of blue or cream paint to get a match off ? Henderson blue was the same colour - same factory after all... Someone here has lamented that restored BigX bikes are invariably many shades of blue too light - the original was a handsome deep dark blue, with really fine gold pinstriping. Midnight blue is a stock colour that most suppliers would understand - and is a close match, although not perfect. Can't help on the cream wheels - it is quite a pale shade. Hope you get better answers than this !! Rohan. 1919 green BigX. ----- ORIGINAL MESSAGE FOLLOWS ----- G'day from Australia I am restoring a Big X series 20 and I am just about to start painting. However I am unsure of just what colors I should use. Does anyone have the definitive paint color for both the gray and the blue? I would appreciate it if I could get a paint manufacturers code for them so that I can just go and get them mixed here. Regards and thanks Ian Donaldson |
