Hey Ricky, a good start would be checking out the Cyclofiend site for paint suggestions: http://www.cyclofiend.com/rbw/color.html
You're right, Testors doesn't quite have the range they used to in the past but they do sell a reasonable amount of colors in small amounts that would work well for touch ups. The funny thing about nail polish is the customer base doesn't seem too interested in colors that would good on bikes as well. If they made a color to match the ram, i might have to paint my nails, good time to wear the cut off gloves! :) Everyone else, Joe Bell would say no if he wasn't interested in selling paint. In fact, he might have a suggestion where to go searching for paint. Hes a professional and has been in the business for a while, I'm sure hes had his fair share of strange requests. Rivendells general position on touch up paint is just to prevent rust, not so much to perfectly match the existing paint. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=33gojC_e5hU I'm not looking for an exact match or perfection. Maybe something like the Subaru tangerine orange touch up paint would do the trick. Ill be riding the ram around looking for one to see if they match :) https://parts.subaru.com/p/Subaru__/Touch-Up-Paint-Tangerine-Orange-Pearl-Top/71900922/J361SFJ020A1.html https://i.pinimg.com/originals/1f/26/f8/1f26f80693ef3a53011b058b71e00e30.jpg Thanks again all for the suggestions, Christian Berkeley, CA On Thursday, May 28, 2020 at 5:02:24 PM UTC-7, Joe Bernard wrote: > > Btw my advice was also because - as we see in this thread - no one ever > knows what the heck to use for touch-up paint on an orange Rambouillet. > I've been reading posts on this for 19 years and it's a very particular > paintjob in Japan that Riv can't even replicate now. > > Which is a background knowledge on Ram paint I just sort of assume > everyone here has, but of course that's not realistic.
