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 !!

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
