    You can find in the Vintage Tech section a thread that has Husky Club newsletters that covers the colors of the 70's Husqvarnas. You may have to download most of the PDFs but it is worthwhile for restoration techniques as well. The car codes are listed and you can use the car code at all automotive paint dealers DuPont, PPG, BASF, and most others as well

    OK, so if anyone else is looking, jimspac was spot on, they're in the husky club newsletters, silver is in issue 1 and red is in issue 3.

    cheers!
