Title: BSA B44vs
Post by: markb on December 10, 2009, 08:45:08 PM

Hi all I,m doing up a B44 with an alloy and yellow tank could some one tell me what the yellow is, does it have a name??
or do I go to a paint shop and get the closest match.
thanks for any advice.

The tank colour is simply listed as 'Yellow' in the parts book.

And even if the colour did have a name and/or number, it would be meaningless to a modern paint sprayer unless they happened to specialise in doing BSA paintwork, in which case they should already know which modern paint is the best match.

Thanks for the reply, hadn't thought of it like that. I'll just go for the close match then
