Raleigh Elan Paintwork

[Bigal42]

Recently bought a 1990 Raleigh Elan Exage groupset in white. The paint is looking quite poor and I'm thinking of doing a respray. Unfortunately the white colour is not pure white and has tiny green specs to match colour of tape on drops. Any ideas how I might go about finding a close colour match. I'm assuming there isn't an RAL that matches.

I can't be sure without seeing it but it sounds like it might a white base colour with either a green pearl or green metallic flake over the top. Checkout https://perfectpearlsandpigments.co.uk/ as they do the best ones I've found. If sprayed over black the effect is very dramatic. However, if sprayed over white the effect is very subtle and could be what you're looking for.

That sounds good. I've attached a couple of pictures. Thanks for the link

I LOVED that bike when it came out. I remember 105 and 300EX being the top kit any of my friends could dream of owning. My friends dad bough one and we all drooled over it.
