 Jack, Well, I didn’t get to a paint shop to try to match the paint. Instead, I was in a Pep Boys auto parts store, and happened to notice that they sold paint in spray cans. So I looked through their supply and there is one that is a matte finish and almost exactly the same shade of gray/silver as the original plastic parts on my Trail 90. So I bought one can and just finished applying a first, light coat to the underside of the red frame cover and sure enough – it is a very close (almost exact) match. I’m thinking I might just take the rest of the older gray plastic parts off and use this paint on all those parts just to freshen them up and make them all look exactly alike. If anyone else is interested in this stuff, the brand name is “Dupli-Color”, the label on the spray can says it’s a bumper coating, and the color is “Medium Silver (FB108)”. It has a matte gray (or silver) look. Thanks for the help.

It did a super job on new sub gas tank from you guys!. I think it is very close to the orginal. One must remember to clean the tank good. It had something on it that caused the first coat to orange peel around the tank seems. A good cleaning with solvent and recoat of 4 look fantastic. Available at O’reilly’s and other automotive stores. I can get a photo once I return from vacation along side my sons bike - he has an original tank. If you'd like I'll send the picture to you For Mars Orange I could not find the Valspar Gloss Basic Orange but at Lowe's I found Valspar Premium Enamel Orange #65018. It looks like a great match for area's covered by the down cover or seat where it has not faded. For painting a complete bike this looks like a great color – Lowe’s Attahced is two coats of the Orange on a piece of paper then shown by the down tube. It may be slightly glossier than the orignal but the color is great - again super for a complete paint job |
