Frame Color Question

Hi Guys -

I'm in the process of bringing a 1979/80 390 Auto back to life and would like to "renew" the frame.

Does anyone have a specific powder coat color (brand and color number) that is a pretty good match to the original Husky silver? This won't be a show bike, but I'd like to get the color pretty close.

Thanks,
Scott

Thanks for the lead... I'll give those guys a call Monday. And I'll post a few pics as the quasi-resoration progresses!!

Scott

did you find a silver powdercoat or paint match?

Kwacker -

I'll check with the guys in Santa Ana on Monday for a powder coat color and will post what I learn.

Thanks,
Scott

I am interested to hear if there is an exact (or close to exact) powder coat match as my 73' CR 400 frame and swing arm are going in for blasting this week prior to PC.

Regards to all.

This is as close as you will get to the original Husky silver in a Powder.

Guys -

I gave Olymic Powder Coating a call this morning and unfortunately I couldn't get any intel on powder coat color other than a color called "Stardust" as a close match for Husky silver. The guy on the phone didn't know if it was a standard or special blend made for them.. and he couldn't tell me the powder vendor. I did a little digging on the internet and found a vendor named Quality Powder Coating out of Carrollton, Tx that has a Stardust Silver. It looks pretty close, but who can tell from a small area presented on a computer screen.

I will probably go with Husky-Parts recommendation above for my 79 390 Auto.

Thank you for that - good to know.

I am planning to paint my frame this summer using a HPLV paint gun.

Anyone have a source for a silver paint that closely matches the silver for my 81 430?

Anybody have a reference for the '87-'88 white frame color in powder or paint?

The reference given above by Husky-Parts was helpful for my silver color question. Below is the contact data. Probably worth giving Jack a call... he'll likely be able to supply you with powder.
