fork sliders
my 1990 NC30 has sliders that are a kind of metallic brown, like the petrol filler cap, i believe this is the standard finish ??
they need repainting, anyone got an idea of what rattle can colour would be a good match ???
cheers

Re: fork sliders
They're the same brown colour as the engine, apparently 'ford metallic graphite grey' is the closest rattle can match.

Re: fork sliders
Have often thought about wandering around a nearby large car dealer with a fork leg and try and get a colour match. Probably get lifted though or shot for my efforts
Have seen kia cars and Toyota with a close match might be worth a look.

Re: fork sliders
If you mean the later type forks then ford graphite grey metallic will be a close match however it is by no means perfect, your better off getting some RC30 engine paint from RSbikepaints which is likely to be a much better match, there are some photos in my build thread comparing ford graphite grey to the standard engine/fork slider colour.
