Just seeing if anyone has any recommendations on colour for the Front Forks and Gold centered front discs.
I have an early 1989 NC30 so it's the aluminium colour fork legs and gold centred dics.
On close inspection the gold centred dics are more of a gold/bronze colour, rather than a brilliant gold.
After a trip to Halfords, the closest i could find was 'Ford Arizona Gold'
Basically wondering if anybody else has any other suggestions

Re: Front Forks/Front Discs Colours
i had my discs bead blasted & then had the centres powder-coated black to match my front wheel. makes the discs look like their floating.
ive also just had my fork legs shot blasted & powder-coated black.
for the legs, any colour between silver > grey > black would look good but it all depends on the rest of your bike & your taste, i have seen a couple of bikes with red, blue & purple legs - horrible!
as far as the disc centres go, i'd use hammerite if you're going to do it your self, i wouldnt spray it as its likley to flake off. but again, its down to your taste.
it takes a while as it well fiddley! & what-ever you do dont paint the centre to disc fittings, these will need masking up.
