1994 kona lava dome green paint match

Hi,

I am about to undertake a restoration of a 1994 green kona lava dome and wondered if anyone has a good paint match for touch up before I start scouring the car paints?

Thanks,
Sam

I tried to find similar in here but to no avail. If I was you I’d check out RAL colours and get the nearest to it or take it to a bike sprayer see if they can copy the colour.

Thanks for the reply. I am thinking now that I will try and find a colour as close as possible and then just lighten or darken it slightly with black or silver. I only have a few small areas, and will try to blend these in with an airbrush. Will keep you posted on how it turns out!

Did you ever find a good match for the ‘94 Lava Dome green, @sam_shelton?

I’ve been searching for a paint match as well.
The best I’ve found is a mix of Mr Hobby Aqueous paints.
I found just a drop of black to darken the green down a touch was the closest I could find.
Green number 89
Black number 2

Thanks. I will give this a go. It won’t be my first or even second attempt at a colour match
