Hi Ian,
       if your paint is a good match to the original, i would very much like to buy any spare you may have and thank you for getting in touch.My bike was rebuilt approx 12yrs ago and a sample of the original paint was used (from under the front guard i was told)and i am pretty sure it is  close to original,
                               Regards,
                               Gordon.

Thanks Ian
I am going to have miss out as this time as I am still a long way off painting yet. I am still collecting bits for the 50 A10 project. I was just hoping for the code and mixing formula.
