In response to SteveM's query about a paint match for his Pathfinder project (see thread here; http://www.greeves-riders.org.uk/for...0534#post10534), RS Bike Paint offer a colour called 'Mid Green' (sounds as though you are on the right track then Steve!) for a 1971 Pathfinder, according to their website search facility. I've heard of the shade of green used on Pathfinders referred to as 'Hunting Green', but must admit I thought that this was name of the darker colour used for the 36MX4 scramblers (which is quite similar to 'British Racing Green') but I stand to be corrected, as always.
I originally posted some info on paint suppliers in response to a member's query about Moorland Blue (whatever that is...!), here (see post #3); http://www.greeves-riders.org.uk/for...read.php?t=194
This is the relevent bit Steve, copied and pasted here;
RS Motorbike Paint (www.rsbikepaint.com) have a comprehensive listing of Greeves bikes on their excellent website with suitable paints/colours for most models, and have a good reputation for accuracy. You use a simple 'drop-down' menu to select the make and model of machine, then find a match from their stock. They can supply small touch-up bottles, aerosols and paint for professional application (or if you have your own gun/compressor), along with a range of other useful products-well worth a look. They can also be contacted by phone on 01707 273219.
Have a look at the Rylands Paints website as well Steve. They have all the RAL coded shades and there is a colour swatch that may be helpful to you; www.llewellyn-ryland.co.uk
[Please Note; The reason I've posted this here instead of as a reply on Steve's 'Projects' thread is because we want to try and keep all paint related queries here for ease of reference for everyone, which is why we set up this dedicated area.
Don't forget folks, it's always worth doing a search for something like this before posting, as it may already have been covered elsewhere, or at least something that could point you in the right direction. In this instance, I'd try typing paint into the forum search bar, then select 'posts' and then click 'search'. This will bring up every post on here with the word paint in it (highlighted in red) and you can have a scroll through and see what's there. You'll probably get more results this way than if you select 'threads' when you type in your search details, but you could always try both-I guess it depends on what you're looking for.]
Anyway, hope this helps you out Steve, and good luck with your project!
Brian.
