    It's one of these two:

    • CHILLI RED SCHOCH 674 OME 20 T3120300-CK
    • VOLCANIC RED SCHOCH 674 OME 39 T3120300-CN

    My bet is on the chilli red but if you have no other way of finding out the exact match, maybe ask Halfords to mix both and then try out which one matches the best.

    Glad I could help and you get that paint. Seriously you should have a plate somewhere mostly under the seat with numbers and letters on and that should be the colour code or sometime it on a plate by the head stock.
    Regards

    All the panels are off now so I’ll have a good look
    All that’s left is getting the tank transfers
    Any ideas?

    There was a chap on ebay doing bike motifs but sorry I can't remember. But any good graphic art shop should be able to replicate them for you.

    Now the bad weather is coming I’m going to tidy the tank up
    It’s covered in bubbles!

    I’d recommend lining the tank before you repaint it, with something like Flowliner.
    It’ll help prevent any ethanol attack in the future

    Why is that what does the damage?
    I only use super plus fuel and I thought there was no ethanol in them

    Yes it’s the ethanol.
    Super unleaded used to be ethanol free but nowadays there could be up to 5% content due to government legislation, and there’s a chance it could be going up to 10%. :rolleyes:
