Re: footpeg hanger paint
Hi,
It should be the same colour as the frame - close matches are RS Bike Paints RD500 frame paint and Vauxhall Star Silver from Halfords.

Just curious as I would like to paint (or touch in) a couple of areas of my frame, I also need to touch in a couple of chips on the belly pan and was going to go for the RS bike paints for that as well.
Re: footpeg hanger paint
I've used the RS Bike Paint to touch the frame up - however typical of metallic its impossible to match exactly - not bad though - A friend as used the Vauxhall paint on the footpeg hangers and it's a good match for the frame - I originally used to use Ford Silver Fox from Halfords to touch up the frame and footpeg hangers but sadly this colour changed over the years and isn't a good match nowadays - I found it best to spray an area onto the frame and blend it into the original rather than just trying to stay with the scratch itself.podman wrote:Have you painted yours using either of these mate?rd84 wrote:Hi,

Not sure about the belly pan paint - RS paints are pretty good - again the red will be hard to touch up being metallic - on the RD500 UK / European model of course.
The original paint is cellulose and modern paints are acrylic so you will need to seal with clear lacquer.
