Freddie Grubb frame colour needed

[MarkS]

Hello,

Any Freddie Grubb experts answer a query

I have acquired what I believe is an early 1970's Galibier model (I had one second hand in the late 70's). My first one was Orange with purple bands, although officially the orange was known as Arizona Gold.

The frame I have picked up now has been painted with British racing green smooth Hammerite.

Has anyone any idea what the RAL colour equivalent would be, or at least if there is a car colour that is close?

Re:

British racing green is generally described as Moss green RAL 6005

Re:

Sorry, I didn't explain myself did I?

I was after the Arizona Hod colour reference

Thanks anyway

I know, I was being pedantic, slow day here

No idea about the orange, other than the color of orange was named after not before the fruit

BITD manufacturers usually had their own colours, I'd have a wander in the paint section of Halfords and pick a nice colour

Re:

I've never had one repainted but from what I've seen RAL1028 would be close to Arizona Gold. Even the originals will vary from one bike to another so you will have some tolerance to work with.

Thanks guys, very helpful

Not going to be an Eroica type full on restoration, but I wanted to get it pretty close!

Thanks again

I was having a slow day as well, and you cheered me up

Re:

Ford did an Arizona Gold. 1213/74 paint code. Halfords's stock it or get it mixed.
