color

I'm looking for info on the original briggs engine colors for 1968 Lil Indian models. I believe 2.25hp may have been a different color than the 3hp engines.

I am trying to help liquidate an unbuilt Heathkit Deluxe Solid-State Color TV. It has the big heavy CRT, the 'bezel' or trim plate for it and a suitable wood cabinet to place it in as a bonus extra (I think it used to be a Sylvania) along with all the rest of the virgin internals, circuit...

I was wondering if anybody out there knows what this original metallic green color is. I would like to paint it the original color. Must note: the blue color is prior to removing all the paint to reveal the green.

I recently posted a thread in the Strictly US Vintage forum of my 1967 Taco 22. I haven't painted it yet mainly because I'm not sure what color to paint it. I am considering painting it the correct color but purple has never been my favorite color. My question has to do with resale value. If...

The Arco is coming along well but now I'm stuck! And Need some help:) what do you guys think about white for the fenders? Is it to much? I would like chrome but really not an option, or I can do them red like the frame or silver like the bars and fender bracket. 5hp Tecumseh will also be...

Hi All, I have a Rupp Sprint (1969/1970) that is undergoing a MILD restoration. The previous owner, gave it a quick spray of a very nice metallic green. Nice as it is, it's NOT Rupp medium metallic which is quite a bit darker and not as sparkly. I'd like to strip the paint and start over...

Can anyone tell me what the official green color of a 1969 roadster would be? I'll be getting my frame back form the sandblaster soon and want to get as close to the original color as possible when it comes time to spray it. I've seen a number of pictures on the web, but they all seem to be...

It's that time again! The leaves are turning and the midwest is ablaze with color. Time for a nice relaxing day of back roads, historic covered bridge and terrorizing the local high school. Meeting up at 12:30 pm, Lowell Middle School parking lot on Foreman Rd. Last year was a blast, we have...

Is there a good color match for the briggs copper color in a spray can?
