Gs1000 paint problem

[Guest]

I have a 1979 GS1000 ready to paint. It has the fluted tank and I have managed to get the decals to go with the light Marble Canadian Blue colour scheme which I think will look fantastic!

I rang RS paints to order some and it's the one colour they can't supply. I think the sprayer can match it, but I can't tell from the pictures if it is metallic or not??? It's so long since I have seen one, I really can't remember. The colour code is 05K, but I can't find any other supplier who can help.

Any thoughts appreciated. Barry

I'm almost certain that paint will be 'dried' out. The paint I bought was.

I think you could be right. It could have been on the shelf for 30 odd years. I have a few weeks to worry about it, so maybe I can find a better photo. I did notice a couple of Volvos on the way home that look pretty close!

The company did say even a sample half the size of a finger nail would be enough to mix it, so if anyone could lend me anything that colour, I am sorted.
