Hi all. Can anyone help me with the color code for the black paint used on lower part of the RGS front fork legs?
Help much appreciated.

I dont want to start a debate but in the past I have got mine powder coated. There was a color that was close to the original.

Thanks Henry,
is it correct that the black shouldn't be shiney but mat?

Paul, I love that tune. Danced to it when ''younger'' Now I listen trying to recall the faces of the luckey ones I danced with

If you powder coat it, no matter what gloss you get it will turn matte after a year or two in the sun……

For the fork lowers on my '81 Jota, I went to a Local Auto crash supply business and asked for a litre of Satin Black 2 pack.
I used a black etch then 2K filler primer and lastly the satin black. All done several years ago.
After cleaning the bugs etc off, still looks as good today.

Cheers.

Yes it's a matte finish on the fork sliders. I have had other parts powder coated gloss and they stay gloss and I live in a sunny climate...that's only warm about 5 months of the year...and I keep my bikes inside when not being ridden.

Agree, is satin, not matt
