What's in the instructions? How about Light gun metal (Tamiya TS-42) Don't have the can myself but from the color chart it looks something like that.

Hi Joel;
Instructions says:
Titanium Metallic
MS-5 (X-10.10+X-12:1)

or mix myself ??

Gun metal and gold?? Interesting. I'd try and get hold of the MS paint.

I have test mixed the 3 colors, and actually, Gunmetal - Gold 10 to 1 looks excellent.

However, Gloss Red - Silver or Gloss Black - Silver 10 to 1 look nice too.

Choices choices.

Hi ;
Small Update.
I worked a little at the engine the injection and the tubes became hose clamps with bmf foil and a little washing with thinned black.




Here the Rearend , Ifilled it with sheet.Now it needs a little putty than sanding and fter that I will paint with Alclad Crome


Cheers Lutz

Both those suggested colour combinations would look good on this bike!

mall Update;
The rearend was filled with Sheet to get the spare Diameter and filled with putty.Need some more shape to get painted.

Looks very nice... this was one of the first bikes I built... yours look better though!

The MS paints are no longer produced and hard to find, especially MS-5.

Why not send a PM instead. I don't find it suitable to push your private thoughts on another person over a public forum.

[Lutz-Bikes]

Small Update;
The paint ......
I mixed it myself by acrylics from Vallejo and Artist Acrylic colors.It doesn`t match with the real ,but it`s my Color Coice.


The rearend was painted with Alclad polished Aluminium.
