Frame color

So, then... What color is silver? Is it "silver", "nickel", or some shade of grey?

For Commando's, I have seen it listed as Opel Silver 135.

Mz Peel likes pearly white sparkly frames. What decided me was watching vintage racers to see what color was easiest to follow in close packs at a distance. Also added some subtle highlights by spraying two cans at once of red and blue for bit of sky bluepink hints. Not seen in close up below nor at a distance but up close can.

Can't tell what it would look like on a complete machine, but that paint is gorgeous.

Brian,

This bike has a flat silver (powder coat) on the frame. I also use a gloss silver (powder, clear coated) on some late model builds like [HASHTAG]#126[/HASHTAG] in the gallery. The flats look nice as a contrast against the gloss body panels but are harder to maintain over time since you cant sand and re-polish. If you do sand, it turns into a grey color. The gloss finish look great as well and is easier to take care of down the road

Mz Peel expedient rattle can with reflective butterfly stickers. Chevy organe-day-glow highlights I now want in JD tractor yellow to match Ohlin springs. Bare frame first pickled inside/outside by zinc-phosphorous-stromium, then penetrating/preserving Strongarm oil, white base coat, sky-blue-pinkish subtle random over sprays- only perceived close up, covered in gloss clear coat with rainbow sparkle dust. Peel custom miss fitting parts clutter requires repeated assembly/disassembly so want easy touch up till after dyno and re-learning crash avoidance before more respectable finish.

Alan,

This was a custom blend we created specifically for this build. Customer said he liked the color of red wine....so that's what we did.

No color code available for this one...sorry

The original monoshock Dreer New Norton prototype looked nice with a silver frame...
