    what i did was take the front forks in a car shop and compare the lids, the range(shop) and small local car shops seem to be best, halfords for some reason i found had a small range

    I have a car body paint supplier in town who has a bazillion swatches and I matched a mid 60’s Deluxe blue. They put the paint in a spray can for me (£13 I think) and I blew over the part of the frame that needed doing. It was spot on.

    Given the paint will have faded over time if you have a good patch under the head badge you can use to match all the better if you are doing a complete ‘restoration type respray.
