If I remember correctly it was aprox. 2/3 International blue to 1/3 Nassau blue and then lightly intermixing back and forth after that until I got the exact match. I had 2 full unreduced pints left over. I did sell one of the full unreduced pints last year or so and still have one left but I am...

Here is a bad experience I had back in 1988 dealing with a jerk. I made a deal with my insurance mans brother who had a 1977 Ferrari 512 Berlinetta Boxer that he agreed to sell me. He and the car were located in Hawaii. After I sent him a deposit of $ 5,000.00 , made shipping arrangements for...

You are correct on the Bonanza Blue color. It was not Nassau or Marina blue.

Then I wet sanded the powder coat with...

Also I will try to post some pictures maybe in a few days of the finished bike so you can see the color. I am still assembling it back together. I did a full restoraion on it.

I just finished painting my BC1100 a few weeks ago using PPG brand automotive basecoat & clearcoat. I had another Bonanza frame with the original paint still on it to match the color to. I used the painted areas that were not faded by sunlight such as under the seat, the bottom underside of the...

Use a 99% Isopropyl Alcohol and a paper towell to wipe the bare metal before applying the sealer or primer. Do not touch the metal with bare hands after wiping down with the alcohol. Use rubber gloves to eliminate oil residue that can be transfered from your skin on to the bare metal. I have...
