Hi!
I bought my bike in the early 80s and the colour was classed as white although it was more of a cream/ivory. Since then rust spots have appeared and although I've polished a lot of them out, it needs a bit of paint to finish the job.
Would anyone know what colour would be a good match? I gather Humbrol enamels for models are good.
Thanks
Margaret

Unless someone knows the exact paint you need I'd suggest taking the bike to a paint shop and have them match the paint and mix you a small can. Not very expensive, and my experiences with that route have been quite satisfactory so far.
