1972 750 SF - paint colours

[Matt]

Hi

I'm restoring a 72 750 SF and am after some help with the colours as all the bits are currently being prepped and I'm a couple of weeks or so from spraying.  I'm going to paint it the original orange, which I think is different to SFC Orange. I've found a reference to the original colours on laverdamania.net, which appears to be  "Ral 3016 Korallenrot Lechler" - is this right?  Does anyone have the Sikkens Ref?

I'm assuming the frame and all the other black parts, fork legs, battery tray, tail light etc are gloss black.  The seat hump seems to be a flat or satin black - is that right?

Thanks in advance for any help.

Cheers, Matt

Hi, Matt.
The desciption about RAL 3016 in laverdamania seems to be
at least a bit unlucky, it's not orange at all.
Take a look yourself: https://www.ralcolorchart.com/ral-3016-coral-red

You're right about frame and seat hump. Hump looks good, if it's
painted like tank and side panels, though it's not original.

Thanks Ernesto. Might go for SFC orange.

that 'Coral Red' looks very similar to my SeFFie's colour.  i had thought it's been resprayed. 

maybe not?  or if so, that RAL 3016 may have been the original colour, they tried to match?
