Title: Paint Color?
Post by: Michael Hickey on July 14, 2010, 01:39:34 PM
I am sure it has been asked many times, but can someone tell me paint color you use for the frame of a 1975 Hare Scrambler? As this will be a rider, my plan is to use a rattle can.

Thanks,
Michael

Michael,
I used the "Search" function and found all the info I needed at the time. I went the PJ route but they are discontinued.

Mile High Pentons should have the paint code.

Easiest and probably cheapest way to go is to use aluminum then clear coat.  The aluminum is really shiny, but the clear coat dulls it slightly to a very close to correct tone.  It doesn't wear as well, but touch-up is very easy to do, also.

For years all Dad used at the shop was a Duplicolor called..Silver Mist Poly. Just 2 years ago i found some locally @ Autozone. Having said that i don't know if duplicolor is still making it or not but it was as close as Dad could find to match the OEM paint.
