I am going to poweder coat my Yo Eddy and would like to get it as close to the Team Violet as possible. Anyone know the PMS or Pantone Color for this?
Thanks, Jon

I think there is a RODY post somewhere in the site that indicates that it is a blend of several colors with an overspray of red metalic....to give it depth.

If you really want a PMS color, I can give it to you later today, but there is a true paint mix of the color if you want it. Powdercoat won't get it right, though (I don't think there is a proper RAL color to match it), it has a pearl-tinted clearcoat, too. I would recommend pro paint if you want it to be accurate.
PPG paint, DBC series, listed by weight based on a pint formula... FCC TEAM VIOLET:

In Colorado Springs did this one. Won it on ebay a couple of months ago while I'm deployed so I haven't laid eyes on it yet but the pictures sure look good

If you are dead set on powdercoating, I'll bring home a Pantone book and check it on my bike tonight. My zig zag doesn't have the pearl topcoat, but the match should get you in the ballpark.

it's had a crack repaired I don't have the original forks I plan on riding the crap out of it and don't want it to be a museum piece (although i wouldn't mind a museum Yo if I found the right one). Cheers, Jon

Oh yes I remember seeing that one. Wasn't it all built up with a colorful headset while on the Bay?

Ronin,
Yes, the PPG paints are still available. If local suppliers do not carry PPG, you can have the base colors cross referenced by manufacturer to come up with compatible base formulas. cheers, rody |

any opinion on RAL 4008 Signal Violet? Thinking it's close, maybe with a tinted clear coat sprayed over decals?

thanks, 4005 was the other option I was thinking. I have an 87 that is nowhere near original condition. It has some very minor surface rust as well. I'm thinking lower budget PC versus a full on resto, just to protect the frame. It is a daily driver -- and amazingly responsive.

There are several members that have gotten close with powder,
I think Screamingbunny's earlier in this thread is pretty good. I think spectrum did it... there are several others here too, be patient and look thru the site... Last edited by tvcreative; January 22nd, 2012 at 12:03 PM. |
