Hi guys, got a 79 gs 250, any idea of the paint code for the frame ?
Thanks!

I had been using VHT chevrolet orange engine enamel SP-123 after an etching primer on my 1978-80 frames, because the color is closer to the original and more vivid than others. However, after having fuel drip onto the frame from a float that was set too high during the Reunion Rider weekend, the paint loosened on top of the primer. I am reluctantly switching to the flatter looking Duplicolor Chevy engine orange, which has been proven to be more durable, but not as close of a color match. Mike
Have you been able to figure out the airbox dilema?

Thanks a lot, frame should be getting stripped down soon. Yeah, i managed too fit the airbox, it's the perfect shape, except the bolt holes don't line up ? I'l just have too drill some new ones i guess.
