Is there a known common paint I should use? I see from the catalogs it is called "Team Blue" but doubt Home Depot will have that color... Any ideas on sources or a close color? _________________ Chad San Diego, CA   Posted: Fri Jun 28, 2013 12:58 pm lofter Joined: 05 Mar 2006 Posts: 1162 I had my 87team pro repainted last year they gave me bottle touch up I'll look on it for the paint recipe.   Posted: Fri Jun 28, 2013 1:34 pm tjchad Joined: 02 May 2009 Posts: 67 Location: Southern California Thanks Lofter!

I had cyclart do the restore on my frame . they did a great job matching the paint . theres two sets of numbers on this . the first says touch up paint #618e6 the second says wo# which may mean work order # not positive tho and that says 10371. I deleted all my old emails last month and im sure that was the emails from susan Cunningham at cyclart too . is your bike painted blue like on the forks ? could you take them in and have someone do a paint match and sell you the matching paint? like a body shop or a local paint shop? a lot of times they have a machine that takes a pic of the paint and it matches it and spits out the recipe for it . or I can take something and put a little touch up paint I have on it and mail it to you.   Posted: Sun Jun 30, 2013 7:18 pm tjchad Joined: 02 May 2009 Posts: 67 Location: Southern California Thanks lofter- are you in the San Diego area? Is that the Cyclart in Vista? If you can I'd really appreciate a sample, but let me check with Cyclart first. If that's where you had yours done they may have the color on file.

We'll see what we can get going. I have a friend who paints his own classic cars so if I can get some paint I may be able to do most of it myself. _________________ Chad San Diego, CA   Posted: Mon Jul 01, 2013 6:44 pm lofter Joined: 05 Mar 2006 Posts: 1162 Pm me your address   Posted: Tue Jul 02, 2013 9:44 am tjchad Joined: 02 May 2009 Posts: 67 Location: Southern California PM sent.
