I'm doing a project I call a Pentonda: a '78 XL-100 with a Penton seat cover and Berkshire tank color. Two questions:

1) What is a good color match for the tank?
2) What is the color of the '72-74 sticker (letter B)on page 25 of the new parts catalog?

The color can be from a spray can as I don't plan on using a compressor for the job. Thanks a lot!

Mick,
Do you have any Do-it Centers in your area? I found a good match for Berkshire red in their store. It is Do-it Best Premium Enamel. Color is Gloss Red #789891. For $3.59 a can, you can't beat it.

Hey Mick, I came across a really good magazine article which provides comprehensive info on how to get good results with rattle cans. If you want a copy, e-mail me your address & I'll mail it to you. Basically, the article says to use LACQUER rather than enamel, to assure a good results and durability. Go to the auto parts store and check out the Dupli-Color selection. Lotsa lacquer colors to choose from.

Thanks all, this project will take a little time, but I'll be happy to haul it around to events and post some pictures!
